Hey All,

Just a quick question I cannot find an article or answer to.

I have a table of data represented in pivot tables/charts. It covers several call center metrics in a line graph format (Calls Offered, Calls Answered, Calls Abandoned). I want to set a monochromatic color scheme / year for the data, so that they the graphs don't look like a ClusterF. Unfortunately, when I apply color schemes it will only apply it to the whole graph. Is there a way to specify Pivot Table color scheme per series of data (what appears in the Columns section [Year, and Values]), so that each year gets its own monochromatic color scheme.

As we are moving into 2019 my boss asked that I overlay the 2019 metrics with previous years data so that management can compare. Unfortunately, since the graphs show multiple metrics it just makes them look horrible in the overlay.

Sincerely,

Kris

Hey Kris

Each series can be formatted individually:

Code:
Sub FormatSeries()
Dim s As Series, i%, sn$
sn = ""
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart1").Activate
For i = 1 To ActiveChart.SeriesCollection.Count
    Set s = ActiveChart.FullSeriesCollection(i)
    sn = sn & s.Name & vbLf
    With s.Format.Line
        .Visible = msoTrue
        .ForeColor.ObjectThemeColor = i + 4
        .ForeColor.TintAndShade = 0
        .ForeColor.Brightness = 0.6
        .Transparency = 0.1
    End With
Next
MsgBox sn, 64, "Formatted series"
End Sub
