    Always Color Last Bar of a Bar Chart

    Hi, I have an ever increasing bar chart (Day 1, Day 2, Day 3) in blue. At the last data, is an additional row called "Average", which I colored in orange.
    Whenever I update the chart, I will add a row before the Average row... and I need to recolor the last bar.

    May I know whether there is any way to dynamically set up the formatting so that the last bar is always in orange color?

    Thank you.

    Why not just add the average as a second series and then change the series into a line?

    Now the average can be seen across all of the data points for a quick analysis.

    Add another series, with Average data only, and set the overlap to 100%
