Default Making special color effects in excel charts


How do I create the faded color effect like the tornado chart example in
this link:
http://peltiertech.com/Excel/Charts/tornadochart.html

It's the orange and purple chart and the bottom of the page

Thanks,
Paula

You can access these effects on the "Format data series" option (right click
over the serie is a way to access it), and then click on the fill effects
button, on the area section of the patterns tab.

Hope this helps,
Miguel.

Not really, the version that I have doesn't offer the same "fade out"
effect as in the picture. Is there some plug-in that I have to
download?

I don't know about that, I am using Excel 2003, and it is present by default.
Sorry for not being able to help more,
Miguel.

If you have Excel 2002, from the format window, on the colors & lines tab,
click the dropdown for fill color. On the bottom is "fill effects". You
want a gradient, one color, horizontal shading style.

It's available in xl2000 onwards.

It may help if you told us what version you think you have.

Cheers
Andy
