I have a bunch of bar charts that need to be updated monthly or quarterly. I would like a quick easy way to update all of the charts when new data is added automatically. The far right bar needs to be an orange color as it is not a complete amount for the time frame.

An example would be we are in 2019 Quarter 2, Currently the 2019 Quarter 2 column should be the Orange color. When we start to add in the 2019 Quarter 3 data the 2019 Quarter 2 should revert back to the blue color and 2019 Quarter 3 should now be orange.

I would prefer to stay away from VBA for this one but if that is what I need to do I will do it.

I have about 90 charts that need to be updated so any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you
