Hi Mynda,

How do you permanently assign a specific color to an Individual or Item as you did in Lesson 5.03?

I have to allocate all data in my charts to correspond with a specific Waste Steam eg: General Waste is "Green", Office Waste is "Yellow" etc.

This lesson would best suit my dashboard, however it would be more effective if I allocate the specific colors to each Waste Stream.

Thank you

Charmaine

Hi Charmaine,

Select each series one at a time and change the fill colour. Excel will then remember the colour for that series. Note: this doesn't work with Pivot Charts.

No wonder I'm having problemsFrown.  Is there any way to get around this in a Pivot Chart?

Thank you

You can try removing all filters and then setting the colours (try doing this for just 3 series) then apply the filters via the Slicer to check that they stick before completing it for all. It may work, but it doesn't always.
