When adding a ‘Summary’ or ‘Ring Summary’ Chart to a dashboard it would be useful and visually meaningful to have the colour values based on another measure rather than hard coded values. For example having he Sales Value bar Red if the value was below the ‘Target’ measure or Green if the value was above the ‘Target’ Measure. At the moment I have to leave them blank as the target changes on a monthly basis.
