You can select the series, then the individual point (two single clicks),
then double click on the point to format it separately. You can also use
macros similar to the last two in this article:

Keep in mind that a pivot chart's formatting reverts back to its default
when the pivot table is refreshed or repivoted.

I have a pivot chart in which all the bars are the same color.
I would like to change the color of the bars based on my own criteria.


Any suggestions on how to change the formats for the bars individually?
