Conditional formatting with IF

[barmstr6]

Hello,

I am need of assistance creating a chart. Currently we track performance on paper and I want to digitize but I cant get my conditional formatting correct. I want a line to be shaded green if below goal and where we finished but be shaded red if above goal and shaded where the performance ended up being.

Attached is a picture of current paper format.

Any help with a chart or if function would be greatly appreciated.

Hi! So there's no way to do this using traditional conditional formatting rules in excel. The common workaround seems to be using different series for each "rule" you want to have - plot one series with the red values and a second series with the green values. A quick google search finds us a few different articles on this topic exactly:
