Custom palette in pie chart

Hi there!
I'v been trying to figure this out for a while, I have a Pie chart for
which I want to set the colors of the pies to my own defined colors.
The source dataset may contain 0 to 15 values, I've tried the folowing
solutions but none seem to work.
When column bouncetype is "HARD_BOUNCE" the pie should be green, etc...
=Switch
(
First(Fields!BounceType.Value,
"MailMessageBounceByType")="HARD_BOUNCE","GREEN",
First(Fields!BounceType.Value, "MailMessageBounceByType")="UNKNOWN","BLUE",
First(Fields!BounceType.Value,
"MailMessageBounceByType")="SPAM_NOTIFICATION","RED"
)
And also an iif statement.
=Iif(First(Fields!BounceType.Value,
"MailMessageBounceByType")="HARD_BOUNCE","GREEN",
Iif(First(Fields!BounceType.Value, "MailMessageBounceByType")="UNKNOWN",
"Red","Blue"))
Any ideas?If I have understoood correctly what you need is to set up colors in your
pie chart setting a color per group.
So, right click on the chart > Properties > Data Tab > Edit your value >
Appeareance tab > Series style > fill > Color > and the put the expression:
= iif(Fields!BounceType.Value, "HARD_BOUNCE","GREEN",
iif(Fields!BounceType.Value, "Red","Blue"))

Well, that's exactly what I did. ;)
I solved it though, by putting code in the Code-Tab, it's a smoother
solution I think.

Custom Bar Chart colors?

I am also looking for a way to specify my own list of colors for bars in a
bar chart. Please let me know if anyone has a solution for this.
Thanks Again,
