Note:
• The option to apply conditional formatting is not available for every chart type.
• An area chart must have two "On change of" values for conditional formatting to appear.
• If your chart type is line, the chart must have data markers before you can see conditional
formatting.
• After you apply conditional formatting, you must select "Color by Group" on the Look tab of the
Chart Options dialog box before you will be able to see your formatting. To set this option,
right-click your chart, point to Chart Options on the shortcut menu, and select General from the
submenu. This note applies to line, 3-D Riser, and 3-D Surface charts with one "On change of"
field, as well as to bar, numeric axis, 3-D Surface, radar, stock, and charts with two summaries.
