    Question Excel column chart series conditional formatting

    Hello,

    I have this project which I'm working on where I would like to conditionally format the 2nd series of a column chart based on the first series' values.
    For example if 2nd series is lower than 1st series, it should be colored in red. If it's greater than the first series, it should be colored in green, all this automatically based on data displayed on the chart. I could also use some VBA tricks, no problem with that.
    Here's the current chart:

    So here I would like to color the "Real" series based on "Budget" series values which will have a fixed color.

    I'd appreciate it if anyone could give me some pointers. Thanks!

    I cant see the image you pasted, but, if I understand correctly, you want to change a cell color in a column? If so, conditional formatting should do it. Of course, it may not be that simple, but, I can not see the image.

    You don't have to add Rep if I have helped you out (but it would be nice), but please mark the thread as SOLVED if your issue is resolved.

    No, I want to change a column color in a chart based on the adjacent series' value.

    Ok, now I get it, sorry, I have no idea if that can be done or not.

    Re: Excel column chart series conditional formatting

    It's part of a really large file. Anyway, I've gone with the VBA way and so far I have indeed found a working version, though not that elegant but it does the job:
    Private Sub bigc()
    HTML Code: 
    And so on through all 12 points (months).
    It works, congrats to me!
