Assign constant color to dimension value in charts

$

Hi,

 

We are running DS 1.5.

 

I've noticed that when using a stacked column chart, colors are seemingly set by dimension value.  In the example below, Graduate = Blue, Law = Green, and Undergraduate = Yellow, all of which were set by dimension value in the chart's Additional Properties.

Our issue is that, when all records belonging to one of those three values are excluded from the chart output, we end up with the following.

You see that, because Undergraduate is now the second series in the chart, it is now blue, as Law previously was.  It appears that, even though colors are inputted by dimension value, the tool is seeing these as index numbers (ie Graduate =1, Law = 2, Undergraduate = 3 in top picture; Graduate = 1, Undergraduate = 2 in bottom picture), which change as filtering occurs.

 

Is there a way to hard-code a dimension value to a color so that filtering does not change a value's color in the chart? The only method we have previously used is creating a unique key figure within a structure on the Bex Query side, one KF for each dimension value.  However, this is not a scalable or efficient solution.

 

Thanks

Scott
