I have a numbers bar chart and have column 3 set to "Ask Vol Bid Vol Diff Diagonal 1 Side". I want to color background of any value (pos or neg) above "500" but can't find the right coloring method to do so? I've went through all of them but nothing seems to work? I set the Column 3 actual vol compare thresholds to 500, 500, 500 but still not working?

To start with, there is not a coloring option that will match up exactly with the "Ask Vol Bid Vol Diff Diagonal 1 Side", such that only values that show in that text option above a certain value will be colored. This is something we would need to add, but we have not had time to get to this.

The best option available is the "Based On Ask Vol Bid Vol Difference - Actual" and set the Actual Compare Threshold to "0, 0, 500" and then set the colors for Range 0, Range 1, and Range 2 to be the same as your background. But again, keep in mind that you will see more coloring than you are expecting, as it is going to color based on the dominant side, whereas the 1 side is only showing you the Diagonal Bid numbers. Refer to the following:

Thanks for reply John. Would it be better to maybe set-up a volume threshold alert so that any value over 700 would trigger, is that possible?
