Conditional Formatting for a Column Chart and Auto Shape
I have a worksheet that evaluates the % of a goal. I have it set up as a
chart and autoshape (to look like a thermometer). Currently, I have one cell that changes colors based on the comparison between their goal and where they are at....this is the information that fills the chart....however I can't figure out how to change the chart color like the cell. |

Conditional Formatting for a Column Chart and Auto Shape
Hi Amanda,
There is no equivalent thing in the chart area for conditional formatting, however, with a little work you can create a chart that duplicates what you want. But before I try to ddo that - exactly what do you want - do you want the entire column to change color after they reach some target or do you want the amount above the target to show as a different color than the amount below the target? -- Thanks, Shane Devenshire "Amanda" wrote: I have a worksheet that evaluates the % of a goal.

If they are <1% of the goal, red.....equal to or between -1% & 1%
yellow.....and more than 1% green "ShaneDevenshire" wrote: Hi Amanda, There is no equivalent thing in the chart area for conditional formatting, however, with a little work you can create a chart that duplicates what you want.

Conditional Formatting for a Column Chart and Auto Shape
I looked at the link, but I do'n't see how that will help my chart. I only
have one column, not multiples, and I need the color to change based on an outside cell. Also, I can't download the zip file to see how the column chart was created, because it is blocked by my work. Any ideas? Am I wrong that it wouldn't work?

Thanks! I moved it out of view and it works perfectly. I did not know about
the "Plot visible cells only" that will help on future projects!
