    Chart Colors

    Is there any way I can get the negative numbers on this bar graph to be green. Basically when the numbers are negative the delivery times are fine and when they are above 0 (which I want red) they are late?

    Thanks

    I got the inverted part to work, but I can not figure out how to change the color of the inverted bars. It defaults to white, and I want green. I have Microsoft 2007. The link is for 2003. Not a huge deal, but if anyone could shine some light I would appreciate it.

    Thanks again

    The work through for Invert if negative does not work in xl2007.
    Well it does but not if you want solid fills.

    The only way around the problem is to use 2 series and create a conditional chart. This will mean though that you will have to lose the charts data table or put up with the additional series being displayed.
    Cheers
