Total Column Conditional Formatting on Waterfall chart

[FrankieBhoy]

This is my first ever post on forum (so bear with me), I have noticed this topic has appeared a few times in these forums, this is regarding conditional formatting of the 'Total' column in a waterfall chart (or lack of). Like other people, I'm having issues with the 'Total' column not formatting properly (I've set any values less than zero to be red) but I've noticed that when negative values appear on the graph it turns the Total (which is positive) red as well.

With no negatives 

Is this a glitch? If not, why does it do this?

Hi,

Thank you for your response, I've opened a support ticket.

I've done some further investigating and I've noticed that it seems that the conditiional formatting of the column to the left of the 'Total' dictates the conditional formatting colour of the 'Total' value (which clearly shouldn't be the case).

I will provide an update on this.

Update:
Support suggested that I submit an idea for conditional formatting of Total columns option to be added to charts (the same as tables).
