Is it possible to highlight a specific column in an excel chart? I have several months of data and I only want to highlight ytd.

This is the data listed below the bar chart

Sep-18 Oct-18 Nov-18 Dec-18 YTD
10.8% 9.3% 4.4% 11.2% 8.7%


Thank you

Wildcard in VLOOKUP
Use =VLOOKUP("Apple*" to find apple, Apple, or applesauce

Thank you for the information. I created a simple excel bar chart with data listed below, months and percent. The format data table can highlight entire rows or columns. I would like to highlight only the YTD column. Is this possible?
Thank you.
