Hi folks, how is this series ! need your feedback ! Today one more ๐๐ฒ๐ญ๐ก๐จ๐ง ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐จ๐ฐ๐๐ซ ๐๐ ๐ข๐ง๐ญ๐๐ ๐ซ๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐๐ญ๐จ๐ซ๐ฒ !!
Some time back I was working for one Client to create a ๐ฒ๐ธ๐ฐFinancial model ๐ฒ๐ธ๐ฐ in Power BI ! One specific tile, we were working on , to show case Current Year Profit with Previous Year Profit and comparison !

He wanted Profit (Growth or Decline) as a separate indicator with a proper legend ( โ till this its fine and available in default visual !!โ)
but the tricky part he wants separate markers and legend colors on same line chart ๐บ ๐ป , (๐ง๐๐ซ., ๐๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐๐ต ๐ถ๐ป ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ป ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐ฒ๐ฐ๐น๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ ๐ถ๐ป ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฑ),
and you know there is no conditional formatting for Line and Area Charts Data Colors! And you can't have different markers !
