OBIEE 12c - Graphs colors driven by variable

Question

On OBIEE 12c I would like to assign dynamic color to chart series driven by variable. Not "plain conditional formatting", but setting HEX Code read on variable.

It seems to me not possible to realize it "out the box".

Any alternatives on javascript or something else?

OBIEE 12c is HTML5 by default, so by CSS you must be able to do something, you just need to make sure your CSS rule is the one which is applied. Probably by adding a narrative/text view in the analysis/page assigning by CSS or JS the color of your variable.

You can probably use D3js to do that. Lots of resources on the net on that, for instance : https://www.rittmanmead.com/blog/2013/06/embedding-a-d3-visualisation-in-obiee/ and https://www.clearpeaks.com/adding-javascript-libraries-obiee/

The thing is, how badly do you need this? It may be a lot of work to do this in D3js so you'll have to decide if it's worth the effort. No experience in D3js myself though
