Hi there Is it possible to set a color palette somehow on a plain column/bar chart with no series group such that the bars don't all appear in one color ? EDIT: I know =iif(RowNumber(Nothing) mod 2 = 0, "Blue", "CornflowerBlue") works in the background color but it gets complicated with a lot of values along the x axis - is there a simpler way? Thanks in advance Josh Josh Ash

Hi Josh, Thanks for your post. Do you mean you want to specify different color for the bars in your chart, if so, you can refer to the link below, which may enlighten you in somewhere: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sqlreportingservices/thread/c874cfa6-081d-4549-8536-369842f06283/ Thanks, Bill Lu Please remember to mark the replies as answers if they help and unmark them if they provide no help.

Hi Bill Thanks for that, it does still require code but it's a better solution that simply using the background color expression. I assume there isn't a way to do this without code. Thanks again JoshJosh Ash
