Hi all,

I tried the search function but couldn't find anything on this.

Is it possible to auto-format the datapoints in a bar chart so the colour reflects the value? Eg, all bars with a value of 90 or over display in blue?

I know I can do it manually, but the chart is ongoing so it fluctuates frequently.

Many thanks in advance,
B.

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
Ne'er mind, found a workaround.

I've split the source data into the sections I want to be colour-coded, where values under 50 show up in the 'red' section and everything else returns as 0.
After that, my four groups only reflect the number within their range, and I populate the chart from the four series.

Bingo :)
