Hi,
What is it you don't get? What type of chart are you trying to create and what conditions did you want to apply? Basically you use a separate series for each 1 of the conditions you have. The data in each one of the series is either present or not depending on the result of a formula which perform the conditional test.

I could rewrite it, and type more slowly.
Seriously, as Andy said, let us know what the sticking points are, and we'll try to clarify them. If necessary I will even edit the page. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions Peltier Technical Services, Inc. - http://PeltierTech.com _______ "Meenie" wrote in message ...

It took me a few minutes to wipe the tears of laughter out of my eyes after
that one, Jon. After you and Andy hear my sob story, you'll probably have a headache. My problem is pretty basic.. I don't know much about charts :) I can make a simple one - it pretty much makes itself actually :) This is a series of simple bar charts (I have 6 questions and 13 departments have to audit their charts - 20 charts a month: 5 chart audits to be turned in each week - and sent to me - The answer to each question is simply yes, no or n/a - yesses and n/a's don't count against them, but no brings their score down - I average their scores to get a "percentage" and enter it into my chart each week. So with each week's info, the color of each unit's bar could change. I just need to use 3 different colors for the bars... It's a "dashboard" kind of coloring... Green is Great (100%) Yellow - a little lower (80 - 99.99%) below 80% is red. I know how to change the bar colors manually, but when you multiply the 13 units times all the audits x the number of questions, well, I'm changing bar colors a LOT. AND there's yet another graph that takes the monthly numbers and keeps a running ytd so I have another series of charts to keep changing. When I look at your page with what appears to be an excel page and all the entries in the different areas, I'm baffled. Where do you get this page and how does it connect to the graph? I'm sure it seems silly, but graphs are kind of a foreign land to me to begin with (and I'm actually kind of happy with all I've learned about them - mostly self taught -mostly just ways to make them look purdy - so I know there's a LOT I don't know... and the formulas can just blow me away if you get beyond the simple =sum or = average - I've gotten some fabulous help on this site with those :) ) To put it mildly, I need the remedial class :) "Jon Peltier" wrote: I could rewrite it, and type more slowly.

after that one, Jon. They didn't make me MVP for nothing. If you send me your workbook, I'll fix up a couple charts, semi documented, so you see how I built them. Then you could follow the procedure on the rest. jp at peltiertech dot com - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions Peltier Technical Services, Inc. - http://PeltierTech.com _______ "Meenie" wrote in message ...
