Can't set conditional formating for colors in clustered column chart

If I have only one series of data I can chose a formula for the bar colors under "data colors". As soon as I add another data series to the chart this option is gone and I only can select a fixed color.

Is there no way to set the colors of multiple series by the value of fields?

Thanks!

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Try to create a R visual.

 

library(ggplot2)
data<-dataset
data<-with(data,data[order(Category,ActualBudget),])
ggplot(data=data, aes(x=ActualBudget, y=Value,fill = ActualBudget)) 
       + geom_bar(stat="identity")
       +facet_grid(~Month)
       +scale_fill_manual(values=c("red","blue"))  -------- set the color you want

Hi Icey

thanks, this is a good idea.

Still I can't build the chart I need.

Here the visual as it should look like:

2020-10-28 13_59_30.xlsx.png

Here the data handed over to the visual:
2020-10-28 13_48_50-RStudio.png

And what I'm able to create:

2020-10-28 13_50_58-RStudio.png

Here my code:

library(ggplot2)
theme_set(theme_classic())

dataCleaned <- subset(dataset, !is.na(SupplierAvail100))
dataCleaned$Date <- as.Date(dataCleaned$Date)
dataCleaned$SupplierAvail100 <- round(dataCleaned$SupplierAvail100, digits = 1)

labl = paste0(month.abb[strtoi(substr(dataCleaned$Date,6,7),10)], " ", substr(dataCleaned$Date,1,4))
brks = dataCleaned$Date

ggplot(data=dataCleaned, aes(x=Date))+
  geom_col(aes(y=OTIF100), show.legend = FALSE, position = "dodge") +
  geom_col(aes(y=SupplierAvail100), show.legend = FALSE, fill = dataCleaned$SupplierAvailColor, position = "dodge") +
  geom_text(aes(x = Date, y = SupplierAvail100, label = SupplierAvail100, vjust = -0.5)) +
  theme(axis.text.x = element_text(size = 12), axis.text.y = element_text(size = 12))+
  scale_x_continuous(labels = labl, breaks = brks, guide = guide_axis(check.overlap = TRUE))+
  theme(line = element_blank(), axis.title.x = element_blank(), axis.title.y = element_blank())

 I don't know if a such complex visual is doable.

I'm very interested in your opinion.

 

Thanks

Rolf

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Could you share some smaple data with the same structure of your real data for test? And please remove sensitive information.

Hi Icey

find attached a small demo of the problem. Everything works except that can have the colored bars (ColA) side-by-side with the other bar (ColC).

 

R Script demo 

 

Do you have me a hint?

Thanks!

@Anonymous , You can not use conditional formatting with more than one measure or legend as of now.

Thanks for the fast answer.

Is is then at least possible to have one serie with a measure and all others with static colors?
