      Hi, you can only choose one color for the complete series. To add a color for a categorie you could add more data series with each its own color. You can also set the color for each bubble manually by selecting only that one bubble and set its color. To select only one bubble click a bubble to select the series and then click again on one of the bubbles to select only that bubble.

I’m looking at comp to revenue ratios (not sales), and using actuals vs budget, so the “smaller” bar is better. Is that an actual change to the calculated diff columns or so I adjust the error bar custom series from positive to negative?

      To be clear when my values are smaller than 45 so when I try to subtract 45 from the data in my east and west columns I get a negative value. Is the 45 a significant value? you don't really explain what that represents and why we need to use that value.

    • @rbxexcelvideos
