Hi.

I have the following macro. (2 bars added each month)
It changes the color for my pivot chart to the colors i want.
Instead of this long macro, I need one that says:

Every odd number bar, make it green.
Every even number bar, make it yellow.

This way, when I add new bars for the next months, I wont have to
re-record a new macro.


thanx
