I have a chart that has 6 bars of data within it and it has 3 different
types
of colours for 3 of the 6 bars. I then want to copy this formating (all
in
the same place within the chart) in one hit to numerous other charts in
one
of my sheets. My sheet can contain up to 6 charts and it is too long
winded
individually clicking on one bar at a time and choosing the colour and
pattern etc.. Please help?
I have tried the format painter but it is greyed out when you are active
in
the chart so this does not work?
