RE: graphics

Hi Elena,

Thank you for the forum question.

It is easy to do if it was a column chart but much more difficult in a line chart.

You cannot do it using the Excel chart tools, but by creating a complex data model. I found an example online I have attached.

Kind regards

Hi Elena,

Sorry about the delayed answer.

If you double click the 0 horizontal line you can change the colour. Click LINE COLOR to the left and SOLID LINE to the right and select a colour.

Kind regards
