    How to show Negative Data Label Values in Red - Waterfall Chart

    I have a waterfall chart pasted below:
    Is there any way I can format negative data label values in Red? For example, I want to show negative values ($4,000) and ($5,000) in Red. I've tried somethings - changing data source's format, changing "Currency" format under Format Data Labels - nothing worked so far. Thank you.

    Hi,

    Welcome to the Forum.

    I am not sure if you can change the axis labels based on the values (+/-), however, you can invert the color of the bars if they are negative using "Invert if Negative". Please go through the following URL for more details.

    Thanks for your response. I am aware of changing bar colors but wanted to know if I can change the color of the data labels to Red automatically if the value is negative. Anybody else?

    I'm late to the party, so I hope Kirtan has found an answer.

    If not, choose Currency from the number format dialog, then select which option you want for displaying negative numbers, and select one of the red text variations.
