Using a line graph, I have created a burndown curve and I would like to have
different color markers represent different types of reports. Is there any
way to do this without manually changing the color of each data point? I
would like this graph to update automatically if the type of report ever
changes.

Thanks!

Hi,

Maybe you could add additional data series to plot the various coloured
markers. The data for the markers would be related to the curve data via
some form of conditional formula. The extra data series would be markers
only.

If the above is not clear maybe you could post back and explain what the
'different types of report' means.

Cheers
Andy
