Good morning, I would like to set the labels forecolor of the Y chart differently in an xy chart in Perspective. In particular I need to change the color from white to red if I have a bool condition. Should be possible? ---

Create an expression binding on, `yAxes.0.appearance.labels.color` The expression binding would look something like, `if({[default]myBool}, "red", "white")` ---

Hi @Transistor, actually I would like to change the single label, I have something like this in the Yaxis ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/7/0/70e0f372f45c6962c6499716a7d0fde69c988941.png) For example I need to turn red only the 04 or 06 ---

If you check with your browser's Developer Tools I think you will see that there is no unique identifier on each of the labels. That implies that it wouldn't be possible to target one of them for a color change. Since it's an XY Chart you might be able to add another datasource and draw a triangle closed shape to point at the relevant label from inside the chart area. ---

Yes you're right, I check with the Developer Tools and I see nothing, but maybe I was missing something. > [@Transistor](#): > > Since it's an XY Chart you might be able to add another datasource and draw a triangle closed shape to point at the relevant label from inside the chart area. This is an interesting thing, but you mean I could add something like an icon connected to the label or add a new series with the same Yaxis? ---

> [@Aiasa21](#): > > ... or add a new series with the same Yaxis? This one. It should be easy if the X-axis render mode is set to value. For category or date rendering it wouldn't work. (Maybe it would for date if it accepts time values as well.) ---

In my case I have catergory in the Yaxis and date in the Xaxis, so it looks quite hard to do. That's a pity. Thank you for your help 👍🏻 ---

Found an easy solution. Category axis label support in-line TextFormatter. > [@Aiasa21](#): > > I have catergory in the Yaxis and date in the Xaxis, so it looks quite hard to do Example with sample XY chart data. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/5/d/5d7b873c6fdb7ee62dd5edcaea1dd9d0f358fc4b.png) ---

@Ujwal_Wankhede, this is so simple! I've already implemented it Thank you too for the help
