How do I change the colors in a Pie Chart that does not have the data displayed as a series? I have tried the solution from the “Re: Dashboard Designer Styling” post and the Theme Builder but it doesn’t work.
Thank you for the help.
Simplest thing to do is add a column called ‘color’ and put the values in there manually, e.g. ‘red’, ‘black’, ‘#90cc38’. Be sure to tick the column in Data Source -> SharePoint list and click Process. Otherwise can add the color field programmatically, e.g. via Dashboard -> Advanced:
var handlers = {};
handlers.preRender = function(config, logger) {
logger.debug('Configuration: ', config);
$.each(config.series[0].data, function(i){
if (i === 0) {
this.color = 'red';
}
else {
this.color = 'black';
}
});
return true;
}

I tried the first approach since the color must follow the specific column value, but was unsuccessful.
I added the new color column as a Single Line of Text column and then entered each color I would like associated with the items. I then went to the chart, selected the new color column and clicked Process. I also clicked Process/Preview on the other tabs as well.

Since you’re using aggregation you’ll need to add the color field via aggregation. Go to Data Source -> Aggregation, click + -> add ‘color’ = min of color. That should do it.
This worked! What a great trick.
Thank you
