Excel chart color fill question
Excel chart color fill question
(OP)
I have a chart which contains the mean temperature over a winter period so I can determin the start and end of cold weather concrete/masonry operations. I would like to color fill under the 40 degree f line any where the ACI rules state that cold weather conditions exist. {3 consecutive days where the mean temp ((high+low) / 2)<= 40 degrees f going in and >= 40 going out.} is there a way to do that?





RE: Excel chart color fill question
a possible solution...
try this,
you will need to create another series, based on the criteria you explained (using same x-axis values), but limit the cell's value to specified value. use the conditional formatting technique and color the text if criteria is met (or not met). plot this new series in the same chart and format.
while this will create another series, you may find another solution to your situation. i do not know what results will be like, but an idea to get you started. meanwhile, i may experiment myself.

Maybe Mr. Gates has opened charts to direct manipulation in the current version so that you can create a chart with fill in one operation but remember that drawing objects are static and not linked to data.
