I have a manual column graph under a line graph. I'd like each column to be green until in gets above my goal, then I want it red. Is this possible. Or would it be better to do this in a VBA?
See example below

Waterfall charts in Excel?
Office 365 customers have access to Waterfall charts since late 2016. They were added to Excel 2019.
Yes it can be done. I whipped this up very quickly.

You need to add a new table with some logic to look at your Daily numbers vs Goal.

This is the logic I used for Daily Under Cells =IF(B3>=B2,0,B3)
This is the logic I used for Daily Over Cells =IF(B3>=B2,B3)
abcdef
1311234...
2Goal1230712307123071230712307
3Daily10500997310275
4MTD1050010237
5311234
6Daily Under LogicFormula goes here
7Daily Over LogicFormula goes here
8Goal
9MTD

Select the Table -> Insert -> Stacked Column
Then right click on one of the columns in the the graph and select "Change Series Chart Type", see below
Change Goal & MTD to Chart Type = Line, see below
Change colors as desired
