How do I floodfill excel scatter charts only below the trendline?

[RWB7s]

Any idea how I can floodfill an Excel scatter chart, but only below the
trendline? I can easily flood fill the entire body of the chart, but I need
to fill only below or above the trendline, or a selected area of the chart.
Help! Thanks.

Hi,

Here are some example of tricks to use for creating fill effects.

If the trendline is a built-in trend line then you will need create
values by using formula.

Use the trendline coefficients to generate points in the worksheet, and use
this technique to produce a combination Area-XY chart:
