Axis labels are treated as a unit, you can't format individual labels.

You could set up a dummy axis and use VBA to control its formatting. You
can see samples at Jon Poltier's website of dummy axes.

I would like to apply conditional formatting to my horizontal axis based on

the category axis label for that point to change font, color, etc.

I would like to apply conditional formating to a series based on the value
of the data point in the series. If the value excedds a threshold it would
cause the bar (bar graph) for that point to be different from the others.
