Changing Bar colors using VBA based on category label

Question

I have a VBA code in excel to change colors of bar graph but its not working for category series.

ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Interior.Color = RGB(0, 15         


        

Answer 1

Your problem isn't with the VBA, to have different colored bars they must be on different series.

Leave a gap in the base colored series and add the values you want colored on a second series and color that. Your data would look something like this:

Series | Month 1 | Month 2 | Month 3 | Month 4 | Month 5 | Month 6 | Month 7
  1         10        12       15                   14                  10
  2                                       17
  3                                                           18
