different colors for bars in a column chart
Hello,
I have a simple column chart (vertical bar chart) which shows my greenhouse temperature. No problem. I record the temperatures at different times of day, and would like to display the bars in different colours according to the time of day, eg blue for morning, red for afternoon, green for evening, etc etc. I do not always record the temperatures 3 times a day, eg. if I am away. On some days I might not take any temperatures at all. I therefore have gaps in the data. How do I go about displaying the bars in different colours according to the time ? Can someone point me in the right direction please? I have Excel 2007 Thanks KK |

Evening and you can select Insert, Charts, Column, 3-D Clustered Column chart. "KRK" wrote in message ...
