Here is my Current View
I'm wanting to add a legend to distinguish between members(yellow line) and casual riders (blue line) so viewers can see which line is which.
Seems like this should be simple, but I feel like I've tried everything. The closest I've come is by getting a legend to pop up by dragging measure values over to the color, but then it changes my colors that I have already established and syncs both lines as the same color or gradient of colors. All I need is a legend detailing which line is which.
Instead of individually changing each line's color, place Measure Names in the Color shelf of All marks card. This should make the legend appear on the right.

I'm styling a vector layer of roads and have noticed that a small subset of lines appear to be going 'rogue' and ignoring their line colour styling. They still obey the line stroke and width style however but insist on being yellow instead of the desired colour.
I've added a separate rule for one of them and it definitely 'catches' the correct line segment and restyles it in every way EXCEPT for the colour which stubbornly remains yellow.
Can anyone provide me with any clues as to what is going on here?
That line (or lines) are "selected" - You have one of the selection tools active and have clicked on the line. See the manual for more details, you need to click on the clear selection tool
to remove it.
I have a Packed Bubble dashboard. My Y axis is a list of names and my X axis is a decimal. I want each differing number to be a different color. Can I do this manually?
If you want to color each bubble with a separate color just use the field that each bubble represent in the color shelf. If I understood your data correctly, each bubble basically represents one campaign, so you should use that as the color.
You can manually assign color using Color>Edit Color and assigning the color of your choice.
See image 1.
If you want to color your bubbles based on your measure AVg(NPV/Marketing $) you can do as Alex Blakemore mentioned and use your measure as a stepped color or gradient.
You can use Color>Edit Color here too , in this case manually assigning color is a bit difficult. But if you play with number of steps, the gradient pre-select, etc, you can usually get very close to what ever your wanted it to look like.
Put your numeric field on the color shelf, and either edit the colors to use a stepped set of colors - or change the field to be discrete and choose individual colors to taste.
I have 2 lines in a chart and i used dual axis on them. For each line, i manually picked colors for them through the MARKS card.
Now I need a legend to show what each line and their color represent but i dont see any way to do it. When i put one of the pill on the colors box, it gives me a gradient of colors on my trend line which is not the color i manually picked by clicking on the colors box.
How can i go about doing this?
Using the "All" marks card (the top one), put Measure Names on the color shelf
I'm getting gradient colored lines over the chart.
How can I bring them to single color?
It sounds like you have a measure in your color shelf; remove the measure from the shelf, and then set a color for the lines. This part of the Desktop User Guide explains the marks card
I change the column color in the bar chart but the problem that when i print the paper in black and white all columns look the same, so I am wondering if there is any way to change the column shape from inside (like cross or circles) so i can differentiate between columns in black and white ?
Thanks a lot
