Highlight a value (for eg company name) in X axis in bar chart

[Anonymous]

Hello!

I am creating a bar chart visual for a set of companies and was wondering if is it possible to highlight a particular company (based on selection) in the X axis? 

The end goal is to get something similar like below, to highlight one company based on selection.

Regards,
Saket

Hi @Anonymous ,

Create a disconnected table as slicer, and then create a measure to apply to bar chart data color conditional formatting.

Highlight = 
var _product = VALUES('Table'[Product])
var selected_pro = MAX(financials[Product])
var _isfiltered = ISFILTERED('Table'[Product])
return IF(_isfiltered,IF(selected_pro in _product,"#594dff","#f0f0f0"))

Sample .pbix

Hi @V-lianl-msft  , thanks for this. It works.

Digging bit deeper here, how would it be possible to do the same if we would add years as legend on the chart?

Thanks again!

Hi @Anonymous ,

You can do something as below:

On the right, in place of a slicer I have used a Table visual and the interactions work as expected.

Make sure that your interactions are set right as follows:

Let me know if this is what you are looking for.

Thanks,

@Anonymous you mean when you click the company in the bar chart, it would not change the color but by default, the selected one remains highlighted and the other bar goes bit transparent? You will not able to change the color of the selected one in the bar.
