Default Excel graphs should allow copy & paste of individual bar formats

In excel graphs - bar charts, I make the last bar a hashed shading as it is a
forcast. To do this I select only the last bar and change its formating. At
the end of the month I want to change the format back to the same as all the
other bars and make the new coming month's predicted value that hashed
shading etc.

Unfortunately excel will not allow copy and paste in this situation - so I
have do open the format tab etc and then change.

Hi

Depending on your chart you would be better off setting up a conditional
chart. Create a second set of columns that displays the hashed data.
Combine this with a dynamic named range and you will not need to format
you chart every month.
