Conditional formatting clustered column chart -- multiple values

Hi,

 

there are previous threads about this matter, I'm wondering if there is some update to it in the meantime?

 

I would like to use conditional formatting of the colors of the bars in a clustered bar chart with multiple column values, however the icon for conditional formatting disappears in the formatting ribbon when more than 1 value is present. If only 1 value is present the icon returns.

 

1 value

2 values:

Probably not the most elegant way to go about this, but you could split each measure into 2 (for example, for +ve or -ve values) and then choose the colour for each

Thanks, that will do for now.
