  • 1.  Can you change the color of a graph in an overlay chart i.e. second layer not shown as blue like the base layer

    Posted Wed August 14, 2019 08:40 AM

    I would like the Budget Line to be Black and the Actuals in Blue

    Hi,

     

    You should be able to change the colors of any of the metrics on a report using the properties:

    1. Right Click on the chart you want to alter and choose properties.

    2. The first tab (Chart) you will see a Color Spec option.

    3. Type out the name of the metric and then you can use Hex code or lowercase of a colors name to change the color.

    4. In the example below I changed it from the OOTB blue to green

     

    Let me know if you need any clarification,

    Lauren Griessel

    @Lauren Griessel how do you apply this to multiple labels? E.G., Opex=Green, Capex=Blue. Semicolons and commas don't seem to work and I can't carriage return in the properties either.

     

    Thanks in advance!

    Hey,

     

    When I tested this worked:

    OpEx=green;CapEx=blue

     

    Thanks,

    Lauren Griessel

    Hello, @Prakash Yanamandra.

    You get the properties when you right-click on the headings of a table in a report:


    Then you can select Properties.

    If you refer to changing the colors, as an entry in this thread describes (Wed August 14, 2019 11:33 AM), you need to select the chart you want and ensure you are in the Overlay chart.

    Thanks Lauren! I must've had a typo or it didn't like my space in between, but it works for me as well! Cheers!
