I have a Pie Chart with 2 items only (R or P). R is a dark color and P is a
light color. When There isn't any P in my data, the chart picks the light
color for R.

I would like to always have a dark color for R and a light color or P.

I am doing the chart in MS Access 2000-03 and my row source is:

SELECT [RP],Sum([Freq]) AS [SumOfFreq] FROM [Rept#704_Joint_RP] GROUP BY
[RP];

Can someone please help me.


Thanks,

Gary
 
I'm afriad this is the MS Excel Chart forum. You might get more help by
posting in the Access Reports forum.
 
Are you familary with MS Access charts or graphs?? It is almost almost the
same as excel charts. Actually, Access charts is a subset of Excel charts.

Still hope someone could provide information.


Thank You,

In Excel if you have a series for P and a series for R, if there is no data
in the P series it doesn't change the colour for the R series, so if Access
is the same as Excel you don't have a problem.

Originally I was looking at a multi-series chart of other types, but the
same applies for points in a series on a pie chart. If you remove the data
for the first point, it doesn't change the colour for the second point.

This is true if the data is missing but the category is present. If you
run a query, though, the category doesn't come through if there is no data.

Gary -

One important difference is that Excel charts are built in Excel
workbooks, where you have the ability to manipulate the data with
worksheet formulas and plot the manipulated data.

I've never thrown VBA at an Access chart. If you're willing to
experiment, you could try to adapt one of the Excel techniques I've
posted in my blog. This one in particular:

VBA Conditional Formatting of Charts by Category Label
