Random color in column chart

How can I set that each column chart gets a random different color as the way the pie chart do? I am familiar that is it possible to set color manually on each column and that you can set the color based on the value, but that is not what I want.

    Hi PiPower ,

     

    I think conditional formatting feature will suitable for your requirement.
    You can add a calculated field to generate random color codes based on current category, then enable conditional formatting feature to color format based on that field value.(color name or hex number)
