Displaying conditional colors in a column chart

For example, you want to demonstrate the differences in sales during 2017 - 2020:

To create the chart like this one, do the following:

   1.   Split your data to the different columns:

• Column I = IF (cell < 7%, cell, ""),
• Column II = IF (AND (cell >= 7%, cell < 15%), cell, ""),
• Column III = IF (cell < 15%, "", cell),

For example (here cell = D*):

   2.   Select the data cells (for this example, B4:B16, E4:G16).

   3.   On the Insert tab, in the Charts group, click the Insert Bar or Column Chart button:

Choose Clustered Column:

Change Data Source if necessary:

   4.   Open Format Axis on the Format task pane, in which:

• In the Labels group, in the Label Position list, choose Low:
  
• In the Number group, choose the format you prefer:
  

You can then make any other adjustments to get the look you need.
