Change color of one column in chart

Welcome to Apple Discussions

Click on the table to select it then click on the letter column heading to select the desired column. Now go to the object inspector & select Color Fill from the drop-down menu if it's not already chosen then click on the color box to bring up the color chooser. Select the color you want to fill the column.

stewartt,

Peggy's solution for coloring in an entire column is straight forward enough. But perhaps you have some merged cells which does not allow you to select one column. In this case you will have to color fill individual cells (or cell ranges) within that column which do not involve the merged cells.

stewartt,

My apologies, I did not read your original post carefully enough to realize you were talking about columns in a chart, not a table. From my few attempts with trial and error it appears that you can change the color only for the set of values in a given series, not individual results within that series.

The only workaround that comes to mind at the spur of the moment is to superimpose a red rectangle over the desired column. Not elegant, but it may serve your purpose.

Hi



You just need to select the chart, and click on the small icon in the upper left corner of the corresponsing table. Now you can change the color of each individual bar.

Hi
is there a way to change the color of just one column in a column chart? I want to highlight one column but I can't seem to select just that column.
Thanks
