If you're working with a lot of Measures in a Dual Axis chart, you'll need to use Measure Values. By default, Tableau can create a color spectrum for each Measure Value, allowing you to choose from a diverging or sequential color palette.
But what if you don't want to color the values with a color spectrum, or a value-based color legend? You'll need to color by Measure Names.
To take it one step further, what if you want to color your Measure Names based off of whether they've met a certain criteria? Something like a T/F, or categories in an IF statement. That's tricky.
But here's how you can do it!
