Hello,  
I wonder if possible to set the color of individuals bars base on their values in XY Chart?  
For example if a value lower than 0, the color change yellow and in other cases the bars are blue.

Under the `column >> appearance` property category, you should see a `deriveFieldsFromData` grouping. You’ll need to add a color field to your datasource and set the value of this to the appropriate color for each data point. You then set the `deriveFieldsFromData` fill and/or stroke color value to the name of the “color” field in your dataSource.

Only other dynamic option I’m aware of are the `heatRules` but I don’t think that will give you the flexibility that you need for this particular situation.
