I am a user that came from QlikSense and this is one of the things I think PowerBi could improve a lot!
In Qllk , the user has the option to create master dimensions or measures and assign specific colors to them!
So, it does not matter when the user uses that attribute, will always be the same color.
All the charts have also the option of formating by dimension. And it does not matter it is a bar chart, a combination chart os a Scatter-Plot ploot , when you use this option you guarantee that the same dimension will always have the same color which makes a lot of sense ( I don't want in one chart the country US show with Green and the other with Blue.. that just create confusion) .
I been trying the same thing in Power BI, but I came to the conclusion that this is not possible. Some charts I can try to put the dimension as a legend, but no ALL charts, and the colors are not consistent between charts! I try to create a table with the colors code and the field, but that is not very practical.
I have a personal finance dashboard, so you can imagine I have a lot of categories and want to keep the colour consistency between charts.
Hope this Improve because the tool is amazing!
