I have a simple bar chart based on two columns, with a person's name in Column A, and a % for them in column D. Works well.

I want to color code the bars based on their % as follows:

0-10% = Green
11-20% = Yellow
> 20% = Red

Is this possible with Excel 365?

Thanks!

What is the shortcut key for Format Selection?
Ctrl+1 (the number one) will open the Format dialog for whatever is selected.
It is possible, but as far as I know - and I'm happy to be corrected - the only way is to have 3 different series on your chart, and format them individually. In your case, you would create 3 x columns with formulas to determine whether to show the respective percentages, or leave blank, then format the series individually.

Thank you, Kevin. That makes sense, I will give it a try soon.
