I have a graph which will appear in a different color depending on the value of my "Region" dimension. "Region" is selected in a Dashboard using an action filter.
It works fine. I click on a region in one chart, and all the associated graphs in that dashboard change color accordingly. I can close and open the file and it works.
But each week I update the data - and then all the colors go back to a "Blue" default.
Now I admit I am doing some tricky stuff. I am not basing the color directly on the "Region" field, which appears in my data. I am basing it on "Active Region" field which is calculated as ATTR([Region]). I do this because when I DON'T have a particular region selected, I want the subordinate graphs to appear in a single color based on ATTR([Region]) = *. Then I have to do manual work to assign colors. Only one color at a time will appear when I choose "Edit Colors". I have to individually select each region, assign a color, select a different region, assign a different color, etc. until all have been assigned.
And it works fine - until I update the data! What's going on?
Mate, can you please attach the .twbx or some screen grabs to aid the investigation?
Best,
