From: adambush4242 on 2 Jun 2010 13:42 I have a column chart that compares 2 y values against a common x value. I want to compare the second y value to the first, if it is greater then make that bar green, if less then red, if same grey. Any ideas on how to go about this? Thanks Adam Bush

You'll need to do this by manipulating the actual data. Setup 3 dummy series, first with a static value of 10. On the chart, format these green, red, and grey respectively. Now, go back and change the static values to formulas similar to this: =IF(B2>A2,B2,NA()) =IF(B2<A2,B2,NA()) =IF(B2=A2,B2,NA()) If your chart has a legend, you can remove the dummy series by single-clicking twice on the entry, and then press delete. -- Best Regards, Luke M "adambush4242(a)hotmail.com" <adambush4242hotmailcom(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:4E4EE9DE-4F65-4266-8335-3017840DEA59(a)microsoft.com... >I have a column chart that compares 2 y values against a common x value.
