Charts

Is it possible to use corporate colours in charts?

RE: Charts

Morning Rachel,

Yes is the answer, and you can even have logos in the backgrounds of your charts.

To change your corporate colours would depend on who wants them. If it is just for you then you will need to create a chart first and make the relevent changes to the coloured bars. Once your colours reflect the coloured bars go to the Chart Menu, Chart Options, in the bottom right click on "Set as default chart". Everytime you then do a new chart it will keep your colours. If it is for everybody then you would need to speak with the IT department as the global template would need to be changed.

If you want logos in bars, Pieces of a pie chart, or backgrounds etc then select what needs changing an got to
format / selected ? (depends what you selected) / Fill effects button / Picture tab / select picture button / find picture and click ok. If you have a bar or column chart then in the bottom left you get a stretch or stack option, choose stack. Then when you click OK the logo will go in.

Hope that helps
Regards
Martin
