For instance, I have a map with labels on each country. I want to change the color (and maybe the size and other properties) of the label based on some other variable (maybe the P:Urban (count), as an example), similar to the same way in which I scale the background color by AVG(P: Birth Rate). Ideally, I'd like to be able to do this on any chart type, not just a map.
Thanks,
Craig
Create a parameter and call it colorswapper of type integer
Value 1 Text as Measure x
Value 2 Text as Measure y
Create a CF call it colorswapper
CASE colorswapper
WHEN 1 then [Measure x]
WHEN 2 then [Measure y]
END
Place on color shelf
Maybe I am missing something, but what you've shown will change the fill colors of the map. I want to change the color of the Labels - (i.e., the black percentages in the attached image).
Putting in on the labels shelf make the labels be the colorswapper value. I want to the values of the labels to stay what they are, but the color of each label to be different, depending on the value of colorswapper.
You need to use dual axis and set mark type to text for other axis and then use that colorswapper that Allan showed for labels:
np
btw I noticed this "Geometry" field in format window...Does it affect somewhere or is it just a dead field?
