If you want to emphasize one category in a column chart based on criteria, how can you do that without a lot of manual effort? Especially if the category you want to emphasize may change next month? This video shows you how.
These videos are inspired by the work I do with business professionals to visually communicate financial results and analysis as well as the forum posts I answer from users on MrExcel.com.
In this video I show you how to build a column chart that emphasizes one category (although it can be more than one if you want) and the chart updates based on which category should be the one the viewer focuses on. In the video I am using Excel 365 on Windows 10, and most modern versions of Excel will look very similar. If you like the video, please subscribe to the channel and add a comment below.
