Highlight

The Highlight option is used for conditional formatting of the chart. You can change the look and feel of the chart based on conditions that you can configure.

This option is available for Line Chart, Bar Chart, Column Chart, Solid Guage Chart, Pie Chart and Donut Chart.

By default, the Highlight formatting options are not visible. Turn the Apply toggle button ON () to format the background.



To use conditional formatting, first plot a chart. Here, we chart a Column chart of Count of Profit and Count of Sales by Category.
The figure given below shows an original image of the Column Chart.



Now, we apply the Highlight option.

To apply conditional formatting, follow the steps given below.

  1. Turn the Apply toggle ON.
    The Highlight page is displayed.
  2. Click Add Condition.



  3. Select the mathematical condition from the If value drop-down.



  4. Select the variable to be compared – Constant or Measure.
  5. If you select Measure, then select the measure from the drop-down. Else enter constant value.
  6. Select the then checkbox.
  7. Select color from the COLOR drop-down.
  8. Click Apply.



The conditional formatting is applied on the selected chart.


Notes:
  • If multiple formatting conditions are applied and they contain overlapping values, then only the topmost condition is given priority.
  • You can change the priority of conditions by moving them up and down using the Drag-handle icon ().

The resultant widget is shown below.



Highlight condition is also applicable when chart is plotted with legends. It is applicable to all the points in all the legends which satisfy the condition.

Consider the following line chart of sales against the ship mode. In the following chart all the points satisfying the condition are highlighted.



For Pie/Donut Charts:

Charts without Highlight are displayed as below:

 

Highlight conditions are added on Total Profit and Order Priority Columns:

The charts after adding highlight are displayed as per the satisfied conditions.
