Histograms in Numbers

Colours for column and bar charts come in pre-determined sets of six colours or shades.

I've not done an intensive search, but have yet to see a means of setting specific colours for each category, changing the order of those colours on the chart, or for assigning more than six different colours to a single chart.

A possible, but labour intensive, solution might be to split your category set into two sets and create a pair of charts that can be placed side by side.

Have you had a look at the excellent 'Personal Budget' template at File > New in your menu?

I you don't use it directly you should be able to get some good ideas that you can incorporate into your own document.

Apple has online User Guides for the three applications.

Here's a link to the guide for the current (11.2) version of Pages: Pages User Guide for Mac - Apple Support (CA)

The (CA) indicates this is the guide for users in Canada. You can copy the actual link from the location bar of your browser to replace CA with a two letter code for your region. Substituting "numbers" or "keynote" for "pages" will get you to the guides for those apps as well.

Barry

EDIT: confirmed that changes listed above do go to the guides for numbers and keynote.
