Combo Charts Legend Color Not Changing based on Filter

[Gladiator909]

Hello Everyone,

I seemed to be having an issue with the color of the legend on a combo chart.

Here is what I have in my table:

Year	Money	Collected	Projected
2019	$1	12	17
2019	$2	14	19
2019	$3	15	20
2020	$1	12	17
2020	$2	45	50
2020	$3	67	72
2021	$1	1	6
2021	$2	4	9
2021	$3	54	59

Here is what I have on my canvas, a combo chart + a filter:

I used conditional formatting to color the chart according to what the user selects. In the example above, if the user selects $2 the chart should be "Green". This is working great. 

However, the color of the legend representing the bar chart is still blue on the top left corner. 

Anyone knows how to get the color of the legend to change as well?

PS: this is conditional formatting:

Thank you, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @Gladiator909 ,

According to your description, I dia a sample and did not reproduce the phenomenon. Can you provide your specific steps? Maybe your desktop version isn't up to date, try updating to see if the problem still assists.

And you can refer to the following link.

Hi there,

Thank you for your reply.

Interesting that you were not able to reproduce it. Here are my steps:

Data Table:

(1) Creating the Combo Chart:

- I selected "Line and clustered column chart"

- Here is the fields section:

When I do the above, I end up with this visual:

(2) I create a filter for the money, by selecting filter and using the "Denom" field from my table as such:

(3) This is where I use conditional formatting to set the color of my chart depending on what the user is selecting. This is done as such:

(4) The filter works great but the color of the legend still doesnt change accordingly. It looks like its defaulted to the blue color at the beginning.

I tried the same thing on  a newer version of PowerBI and same thing.

Thank you for all the help
