Bar chart fill color selection from reference to cell data

[Darryl]

Is there a way to create a bar chart and have the colors
be selected from data adjacent to the plotted data? Or
is there a macro that can select cells which can change
the color of the fill/texture?

Darryl -

You can set up formulas that split your data into columns based on the
value in a reference column, then plot different series, each formatted
to differentiate them from each other. I have a couple of conditional
charting examples linked to this page:

My examples use the values as the reference that splits the data into
series, but you could use any other parameter to do this.
