Hi,

So say I have a pivot table with the following columns:

Division Name, Count of Projects, Dollar Amount

I need to create a bar chart where the bar length is the count of projects and the color of the bar is the continuous gradient color for the dollar amount of all the projects.

It's easy to do this in other BI tools, but I searched online and can't find an easy way to do it in Excel. If I highlight all three columns in the pivot table and create a chart it creates a bar chart with the dollar amount on the X axis. I'm having two issues:

1) I can't get the count of projects on the X axis.
2) I can't remove Dollar Amount from the legend and add it as a color on the bars.

Can anyone please help? Please see attached image.
