Stacked bar chart colour query

Hi All,

I have a dimension (Occupation) that appears on 3 or 4 separate charts throughout my dashboard. I have set up a variable called vColourOccupation which has the following if statement:

if(Occupation='MI Lead',RGB(51,102,255),
if(Occupation='Operations Head',RGB(255,51,102),
if(Occupation='Population Lead',RGB(51,255,204),
if(Occupation='Quality Assurance',RGB(245,184,0),
if(Occupation='Relationship Owner',RGB(77,153,0),
if(Occupation='Review Analyst',RGB(153,0,0),
if(Occupation='Team Lead',RGB(0,255,255),
RGB(0,0,0))))))))

In the background colour piece of the expression I have put the variable in here. However when I do this and open my dashboard it looks like the following:

Whenever I select one of these bars and unselect it then it fixes this issue and looks like the following:

Anyone any ideas why this would be? The expression is the following:

//Baseline

sum({<YearQ={'2017-1','2017-2','2017-3','2017-4'}, Attrition=, Retirement=>}[Demand C])

sum({<Year={'2018'}, Attrition=, Retirement=>}[Demand C])*vMixD2014

Would anything here be affecting it?

Try replacing Occupation with Only({1}Occupation) in your variable

Hi Gysbert,

This worked perfectly, could you advise on what that is actually doing out of curiosity?

Thanks

Gysbert_Wassenaar

If you select one Occupation value then the if statement will only encounter that selected value. So you get only a color for the selected value. By explicitly using an aggregation function like Only() it's possible to add a set condition to overrule the user selection. The {1} means that all user selections should be ignored.

Hi Gysbert Wassenaar,

Really appreciate that, a bit new to all this so the more knowledge I can get the better.

Thanks again
