I’m trying to make an hour by hour chart that will color the Bars based on if the goal was met. The heatRules don’t really work for me as I would just like Red or Green. How can I set the bar fill color based on a simple logic of greater than x color = green smaller than x color = red Here is where I’m at so far. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/3/0/30c28eadf8b042d6eeda60deb855c2bc1085d242.png) ---

I need to accomplish the same thing I was kind of hopping that replacing the fill color by a reference to a graph field {field} would do the trick, but it does not. I added a field to the graph source object, and I set this field to different color values (808080, 00FF00, FFFF00, FF0000, …), but for some reason it does’t work. Any ideas guys? Thanks! ---

My colleague manage to do this. He added a column in the dataset of the dataSource with the name “Color” which each row has the value “green”, “orange” or “red”. (In our case the dataSource has a query binding so the logic that determines the color takes place in the query) Then he set the value of series/0/column/apperance/deriveFieldsFromData/fill/Color to Color. I think that is all that is required. ---

Hi @Mason.Younger , slightly different question, how were you able to get that dashed horizontal line (just above 60)? Is there a way to label that line? ---
