    Question Bar chart question

    Hello,

    Is there a way to change the outline of some of the bars in bar chart? Right now all the bars are have a solid line outline. I need to change some of them to dashed lines. I've never seen this done, but might be missing something. I'm afraid it's not possible because of the legend formatting. I want the colors to remain the same on all bars, just not the outline.

    Thanks for any help with this,
    Avrilon

    Thanks, Oldchippy, but I can't seem to select only one column like in your image. When I right-click, all the columns are highlighted and I can't figure out how to just select one. Actually, all the similar colored sections of the columns are highlighted when I click on each bar. Attached is the chart. I want to change all the lines on the bars in the circled area to dashed lines. Maybe it's not possible?

    If you click the columns, all are selected, then click again and only one is selected.
