Yes, you can definitely change the color of specific bars in an Excel bar graph. Here's how you can do it:
- First, select the data series that you want to change the color for. You can do this by clicking on any bar in the series. This should highlight the entire series.
- Once you have selected the data series, right-click on it and select "Format Data Series" from the drop-down menu.
- In the Format Data Series pane that appears on the right-hand side of the screen, click on the "Fill & Line" tab.
- Under the "Fill" section, you will see a color palette. By default, the bars will be set to the "Automatic" color option. To manually assign a color to the bars, click on the "Solid fill" option.
- Once you have selected "Solid fill", you can choose the color you want by clicking on the color palette or by entering the RGB values for the color you want.
