Map individual colors to each legends in the Chart

[Sijeesh]

I have a line chart report with only one series and has 4 Legends(Legend A, Legend B, Legend C & Legend D) in it. And I have assigned 4 different color patterns to the chart.

The order is Green, Red, Blue, Yellow.

 

Now, when the Report loads the data for all the Legends, the Colors are mapped correctly. For Example, Legend A = Green, Legend B = Red, Legend C = Blue & Legend D = Yellow in the same order.

There is a scenario where in the report has the data only for 2 legends( Legend B and Legend D). In this case, the report automatically chooses Legend B to be Green and Legend D to be Red.

Is there a way to set or map individual colors to the legends? Like Legend A should always be Green, Legend B as Red, Legend C as Blue & Legend D as Yellow.

I know if we use 4 series in the chart then this is possible, but i do not want to use multiple series.

Hi Sijeesh,

Generally, the color of the series/legends is controlled by the ColorPalette property. The first color in the palette is assigned to the first series and so on.

You may control the color also with Conditional Formatting. The property is under the Appearance group in the LineSeries properties. This way, the color of each series may be set individually. See the attached screenshot SeriesConditionalFormatting.png for clarity.

A more general solution can be found also in the Provide Graph ColorPalette Dynamically KB article.
