I have 6 pie charts that measure units by person.  Always same 3 people but sometimes only 2 of the 3 have units.  Is there a way to keep the colors always associated to the same people.  Right now it's hard to look at all 6 pie charts and see who is who because they can be a different color in different charts.

Hi,

From what you're describing here, a Conditional Palette for each chart will allow you to define specific colours for specific people. You would need to define the same palette for each chart, but it isn't difficult to do. The process is described in the docs here:
