Danke Schön! sehr Gut!
You are welcome! Thank you for your nice comment. - Catherine
Amazing video. Thank you.
Thank you! I'm glad it was helpful. - Catherine
Very helpful and appreciate your way of teaching
Thank you so much. I am glad it was helpful. - Catherine
Very well done. Thank you!
That's great to hear. Thanks! - Catherine
Amazing thank you! ❤
Thanks for such a nice comment! 🙂- Catherine
Thank you for your video. How do you adjust the minimum value of the y axis? I want to start my graph chart at 100 and go up. I don't want to start at zero.
That’s a good question. I don’t see a way to set a minimum (or maximum) value for the y axis. When I can’t format a chart the way I want, sometimes I will create the chart in Excel and then paste an image of it into Canva. I realize that's not a perfect solution - sorry not to have a better answer! - Catherine
Just what I was looking for!
That's great to hear! - Catherine
I also created a video about the same topic that is much longer (13 minutes) - here is the link if you are interested in more details: ua-cam.com/video/2_HhGlL9qoU/v-deo.html 😊 - Catherine
This is very cool, but is there a way to have multiple colours based on value please?
Yes, in that case you can add another column next to "At or Above 65" with a new condition that you define. Now you have three conditional values, make sure to make them mutually exclusieve. Exactly one condition must be true, the others must be NA(). You can repeat this process as many times as you want.
Thanks for your question. There is a good answer above from @Gapiedaan. Also, I created a new video that demonstrates how to do this: ua-cam.com/video/4JCjZLLzBXI/v-deo.html (How to create a Bar Chart with Color Ranges based on Numeric Value in Excel) - and it has in the description an Excel file you can download to see the formulas and chart. I hope this helps! - Catherine

Thank you for more insights. Please, is it possible to format legends from top to bottom?
Thanks for your comment! I cannot find a way to display the legend vertically, listed from top to bottom. You could create the legend manually with boxes and text, but that is not an ideal solution. I will send Canva a suggestion to add this feature. Thanks again - Catherine
good one
Thanks! - Catherine
amazing, thank you

crazy how fucked up excel charts are
I will admit, charts can sometimes be challenging. But overall I really enjoy working with Excel. Thanks for watching the video and taking time to comment! - Catherine
This is incredibly helpful, thank you!! I love your calm and clear style of teaching!
That's great to hear. Thank you! - Catherine
hi! thanks for your videos. Do you possibly know if I can put textures on the bars? I need to make them colorblind friendly (not only with colors)
Hi. This is a good question. I can not find a way to add texture (or patterns) to the bars on a chart in Canva, only solid colors. Your best choice is probably to create the chart in another app, like Excel, which allows texture on the bars. Then copy the Excel chart into Canva as an image. Sorry to not have a better answer! - Catherine
Awesome video, i love me a bit of excel and i just came across the splicer option on pivots to create a dashboard of information. Well done!

If the number pak visitors of Jul and aug are the same, how should we edit it?
If I understand your question, how would the chart look if the number of park visitors in July and August are the same, meaning the Aviary opening (or closing) in August did NOT change the number of visitors? In this case, you could circle the data points for both July and August to emphasize this. In the first example, make the title for the New aviary something like “New Aviary Fails to Attract More Visitors” …. and for the second example, make the title for the Closed aviary “Aviary Closed but Park Still Popular”. Please let me know if this doesn’t answer your question. Thanks! - Catherine

There's no need to show percentage complete and data bars separately! Looks rookie and a bit unprofessional like me
LOL. If you mean showing the percentage complete and data bars in two separate columns, I included that option at the end of the video just in case it is needed. It probably doesn’t make sense when the value is percentage complete, but you never know when a client may request it that way. I do agree with you, it usually makes more sense to show the values in the same cells as the data bars. - Catherine

Can we animate this chart like the circular type?
For some reason, the Progress Ring (example 3 in the video) does not come with built-in animation like the Donut Chart. You could add the "wipe" animation setting, but it's not as cool as the Donut where it looks like a circle is drawn on the screen. I hope this answers your question, if I misunderstood, please let me know. Thanks! - Catherine
