Charting

Hi there, I am trying to show data over 6 days for three separate teams.  But when I change the colour for one team in the graph so one team has all one colour for all 6 days, excel changes this for each day irrespective of team as it links the data by day.

 

                   Day 1 2 3 4 5 6

Team A - blue - should be all one colour but excel colours the data differently for each day which is not what I need

Team B - orange

Team C green

 

Ideally all the blue team data should be coloured blue for the six days but excel colours them differently so when I change the colour for day 4 in one team, excel changes the colour to be the same in the other teams for those days.  Is there a way to break this link?

 

Thanks

@Mark_R750 Put the Days in the first column and the Teams in the next three. Then the default chart will create three series with six data points each.

 

I suspect that your chart created 6 series with three data point each. If you can't reformat the table, you can press "Switch Row/column" in the Chart design ribbon.Screenshot 2020-05-05 at 13.08.49.png
