Hi Guys
I need to change the slice colours in around 200 pie charts as quickly as possible. I dont want to right click on each slice in each individual slice and format the data point. Is there a quick way of doing it that anyone knows of?
Thanks in advance
Stephen

Waterfall charts in Excel?
Office 365 customers have access to Waterfall charts since late 2016. They were added to Excel 2019.
Try this

Code:
Sub ChangeColorPie()

    For Each chtobj In ActiveSheet.ChartObjects
    
        ActiveSheet.chtobj("Chart 1").Activate
        
        ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Points(1).Select
        With Selection.Interior
            .ColorIndex = 3
        End With
        
        ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Points(2).Select
        With Selection.Interior
            .ColorIndex = 10
        End With
        
    Next chtobj

End Sub

Sorry, just too quick with my answer. Try the code below.

Code:
Sub ChangeColorPie()

    For Each chtobj In ActiveSheet.ChartObjects
        
        ActiveSheet.ChartObjects(chtobj.Name).Activate
        
        ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Points(1).Select
        With Selection.Interior
            .ColorIndex = 3
        End With
        
        ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Points(2).Select
        With Selection.Interior
            .ColorIndex = 10
        End With
        
    Next chtobj

End Sub
