Hi, I have the spreadsheet study on a price graph just now.

I now want to color the bars of the graph based on values of a specific column of the spread sheet- is this possible?

We need more information on exactly what you are trying to do. Are you wanting to color the bars various colors, or just one color. What are the conditions for the coloring?

Hi, thanks for getting back to me.

The spreadsheet column I'm referencing has 4 possible values: 'Bullish', 'Bearish', 'Rebound', 'Correction'.

I'm wanting to color the bars based on these 4 states, say for example:

Bullish = Green, Bearish = Red, Rebound = Blue, Correction = Yellow.

I've attached a sceenshot as well of the graph + spreadsheet.

Cheers!

You would need 3 or 4 copies of the "Color Bar Based on Alert Condition". You need 3 if you want to set the standard color for the bars to be one of the states, otherwise you would need 4 to do all the coloring for you.

Then in each copy of the "Color Bar Based on Alert Condition" you would need to enter the condition that creates the "Bullish", "Bearish", "Rebound", and "Correction" states. Make sure that each condition is exclusive to each situation (i.e. do not do something like "H > 1000" and "H > 1500", you would need "OR(H > 1000, H < 1500)" and "H > 1500" (assuming the H > 1500 is a final condition)).

If the spreadsheet study is set to Region 1, you can use it to color the bars.

In 4 spare Formula Columns:
W3: =Q3="Bullish"
X3: =Q3="Bearish"
Y3: =Q3="Rebound"
Z3: =Q3="Correction"

Then set the DrawStyle of those subgraphs to Color Bar
