    Lightbulb Concatenated Legend Series with grouped Colours

    Hello!

    So I'm trying to group Names by only 3 colors in my chart, Backlog/Won Not Booked/Forecast.
    Just like the image below, and the attachment.
    But the chart insists on coloring the columns by each Name instead of my 3 previous statements.

    Is there a way of doing this automatically, or I will have to create other tables to help me?
    If yes, how ?

    Thank you!

    You can create a chart template from the chart you have coloured manually and then apply that to future charts.

    Didn't know you could save Templates,
    It worked, but partially, since the User can change the "Backlog" cell to "Won not booked"
    But that already gave me an idea to workaround, Thanks!
