Hi Team, I have created a chart as the below .. I need to make each bar has a different background color .. I know they have the same column so because of that they listed with the same color .. But I need a way to change it like excel .. In Excel file when we duple click on any bar in the chart we will be able to change the color of that bar .. ![image](https://community.holistics.io/uploads/default/original/2X/7/733b3e58803cf27fb0d34619ee5c3bf50df6cf0f.png) Thanks ---

Hi @Hamza_rashed, To change the bar color, we suggest using the “Legend” instead of the “X-axis.” Your chart settings should be as follows: - X-axis: None - Legend: **Planner Name Task** - Y-axis: **Avg of Until Confirm** This will enable you to change the bar color in the Y-axis section. ![Screenshot 2024-02-15 at 09.41.38](https://community.holistics.io/uploads/default/original/2X/4/43bdcda51dc84e703c8994a4f2e9c557909c000f.png) We understand that this is a workaround and we are looking into improving this functionality. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you require additional assistance 😊
