Seeking help to create a bar chart where the bar changes colour when low, med or high

Hey all, I'm using Excel on Mac and am seeking to replicate a file I've been given.  It has bar charts that are red when in the low category, green when med and blue when high.  The bar just changes colour.  How could I make this happen please?  Thanks so much for assisting:)

  • down-to-earth This requires a few extra steps by which you dynamically categorise each value in the groups for Low, Med or High. Then you create a stacked bar chart of the three series and format each series to the desired colour. See attached for an example chart.
