Hello community,

I created a table PivotChart where I am comparing expenses from this year and last year month by month. I would like my bars to be filled with a different color depending on the difference with the previous year. For instance, if I have spent more in January 2018 than I did in January 2017, have my bar for Jan 2018 red. If in February 2018, the expenses were less than in Feb 2017, then I want my Feb 2018 bar green.

Is it possible? I know that there is an option when dealing with positive and negatives numbers but I do not know how to format it in my case.

Thank you very much!

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.
