This new update, been "a while", but I've been trying to get accustomed to the new visualisation tab, but I have difficulties finding what needs to be found.
The other day I was looking for formatting the fields in a particular way. In the past you had this:
And this:
Now you get crap like "specific column", it is not a specific column, you can't choose whether "a specific column" at a certain combination like
* Column value Brand: Mercedes -> Specific column "sales" background light blue
* Column value Brand: Volkswagen -> Specific column "sales" background light green
This is not the "specific column", you change by field. Field is the term used to for a "field", or table column's data. The "sales" in categories of Mercedes and Volkswagen have the same table column's field, "Sales", which you modify.
And then you have the crap of "cell elements", is not cell element, you change:
* Columns Mercedes, Sales, Row Year 2020 background light blue
* Columns Volkwagen, field Sales, Row Year 2021, background dark blue
That's not "cell" element, that's the conditional formatting for a certain field.
"If my Grandmother had wheels she would have been a bike"
It makes no sense. It is called "Field formatting" because it relates back to the "formatting" of a "field" within a visualization. Why would someone **bleep** with that logic?
Question
Does someone have a way how I can easily find what I can't, a sense of logic within the new visualization tab's layout?
@DouweMeer , based on what I got. In Matrix and Table, it is under cell. In Bar visual it under Bar.
If not using a legend or more than one measure. You can use color measure (using the field value option ) to use fix color for the brand
How to do conditional formatting by measure and apply it on pie?

@amitchandak , it contained something that got my interest, but both links have the old format in mind.
This is what I see in Power BI right now:
Which is different, which is my complain, which is why I have that question.
