Change the Labels and Colors of Dataset Dimension Values

Change the display labels and default colors of dimension values to make them easier to understand and spot. The modifications don’t alter the underlying data stored in the dataset or the API names of the columns. The changes affect only the appearance in the user interface.

Because these changes are done at the dataset level, the changes affect all charts and tables that use this dimension.

Note You can override the default colors for a specific chart or table by setting conditional formatting in the widget properties.

1. To change colors or labels for all charts that use a selected dimension, click Fields while exploring a dataset as a lens.
   
2. Click the dropdown arrow next to the dimension, and select Edit Values.
   
3. To change the color, click the square icon on the right (1) and select the color (2).
   
4. To change the label, click the text box and enter a new label.
   

If you change the colors of dimension values, the color doesn’t appear in a chart until you set up conditional formatting on the column in the chart’s widget properties. For more information, see Automatically Highlight Data with Conditional Formatting
