    Hi! If you switch around the rows and the columns you can manipulate the colors of each bar

    Re: Trying to group graph bars by color based on month

    Thanks for the reply! Do you know if there is a way to 'group' colors. For example, make the first four bars (Jan) red, the next four bars (Feb) green, etc...?

    Re: Trying to group graph bars by color based on month

    I invented a similar wheel for someone who wanted to show countries by color. So that explains the table name and column header. As it turned out, I had to change one line of code. Go to sheet one and select the colors you want for each month. The macro is called ListChart.

    One spreadsheet to rule them all. One spreadsheet to find them. One spreadsheet to bring them all and at corporate, bind them.

    A picture is worth a thousand words, but a sample spreadsheet is more likely to be worked on.
