Color coding chart inconsistencies
Hello, I am wondering if this is not possible: I set up a timeline report with custom colors for 10 different groups. Now I have a request to create stacked bar charts for these same groups using the...
Forum Discussion
Frustratingly, customization is not totally possible. This drives me nuts but here is the deal:
If your bar chart (or pie chart) already includes all the options and the options will be there forever, then QB will auto assign colors to each bar/pie slice, which you can then customize and change.
Here is the rub - if any of the bars or pie slices dissapear (maybe you have a filter and sometimes the bar exists and sometimes it doesn't), every time it comes back it will be auto assigned a color.
I found a user feedback on this and upvoted it as much as possible because its very annoying. I hope they listen!

Thank you, Mike,
This was what I suspected - you have saved me a lot of time I would have spent trying to solve this. This sort of thing makes it difficult to 'sell' my team on the advantages of reporting in QB. I will add my vote to the user feedback and hope for some future update.
