highlight bar with MAX Value

Bogdan — Mon, 04 May 2026 14:52:01 GMT

Dear Incorta Champions,

I've got a bar-graph insight showing total values grouped by days. I would like to highlight with a different color (or in some other way) the bar that scored the highest value.

I've been trying multiple ways to achieve it (with dual axis, using RANK, MAX, SUM, IF), but nothing works. I might have reached the visualisation ceiling, but perhaps you have found a workaround...

can you suggest my way forward?
