Power BI's visualizations have colors assigned automatically. It should be possible to set a color when a value is reached (e.g. always show negative bars in red) or for a particular color in a legend (e.g. always show Microsoft datapoints as blue)

I want to be able to write a question that says "Revenue - Tax over time" and have Q&A create the calculation for me on the fly.

RE: Set Colors and Conditional Formatting in visuals

Another example (for Azure usage data). What is the average daily cost? i.e. Sum(cost) / Sum(count of date). Could also be expressed as: What is the total cost divided by the total count of date?

It is not currently possible to get the result desired above.

The first query returns a line graph with a point for every day and the average record value within each day. The second query returns the totals for cost and day count but does not do the divide.

RE: Set Colors and Conditional Formatting in visuals

I to would like to perform a question that would allow me to do math functions for example. 'total r for q1 / total g for q1' = %

Thanks

RE: Set Colors and Conditional Formatting in visuals

I am a Microsoft Partner and ISV and my customers and my employees are getting frustrated by the lack of attention to this obvious bug!!!! When trying to set the conditional formatting in a table visual, the formatting color changes do not work properly. How in the world do you mark this as COMPLETED? I am trying to foind the responsible party to address this bug to. This is unacceptable to mark something COMPLETE that is obviously flawed and unusable in the latest PBI release. I want this fixed now.

Dynamic color mapping of numerical values, which will help us set the values of colors based on the range they are present in.
