I want to create a chart where the areas under the baseline are a
different
color than the areas above the baseline. Is that possible?



It's possible, but *very* tricky in the details. Jon did a similar

Are you sure you couldn't just use a column graph instead? Excel Column
chart type has the facility that's strangely lacking in its Area chart
type, the ability to change color when the value is negative.
