Hello,

I tried to set up colors for up/down bars with supporting legend.
If I selected color for each item(column) - I haven’t matching colors in legend.
I tried use ChartData.Series[0].ParentSeriesGroup.UpDownBars for set up colors - but it isn’t work.

Example:

chart.ChartData.Series[0].ParentSeriesGroup.UpDownBars.HasUpDownBars = true;
chart.ChartData.Series[0].ParentSeriesGroup.IsColorVaried = true;
chart.ChartData.Series[0].ParentSeriesGroup.UpDownBars.DownBarsFormat.Fill.FillType = FillType.Solid;
chart.ChartData.Series[0].ParentSeriesGroup.UpDownBars.UpBarsFormat.Fill.FillType = FillType.Solid;
chart.ChartData.Series[0].ParentSeriesGroup.UpDownBars.DownBarsFormat.Fill.SolidFillColor.Color = Color.Brown;
chart.ChartData.Series[0].ParentSeriesGroup.UpDownBars.UpBarsFormat.Fill.SolidFillColor.Color = Color.Lime;

@Andrey_Potapov,
The main goal of this that have the ability to set up colors for increase/decrease/total columns with supporting legend.
I can set up color for series, but then I colored all points in one color, but waterfall chart - that three colors.
I found property pptChart.ChartData.Series[0].ParentSeriesGroup.UpDownBars. And I thought may be that can help me for configure up and down bars. But that isn’t affected to the chart.

Code example:

var pres = new Presentation();
var pptChart = pres.Slides[0].Slide.Shapes.AddChart(ChartType.Waterfall, 0, 0, 700, 300);

var pptSeries = pptChart.ChartData.Series[0];
pptSeries.Format.Fill.FillType = FillType.Solid;
pptSeries.Format.Fill.SolidFillColor.Color = Color.Blue;

var parentGroupSeries = pptSeries.ParentSeriesGroup;
parentGroupSeries.UpDownBars.HasUpDownBars = true;
parentGroupSeries.IsColorVaried = true;
parentGroupSeries.UpDownBars.DownBarsFormat.Fill.FillType = FillType.Solid;
parentGroupSeries.UpDownBars.DownBarsFormat.Fill.SolidFillColor.Color = Color.Brown;
parentGroupSeries.UpDownBars.UpBarsFormat.Fill.FillType = FillType.Solid;
parentGroupSeries.UpDownBars.UpBarsFormat.Fill.SolidFillColor.Color = Color.Lime;

Result - “Example1.pptx”

If I colored series in color, and then recolored for example decrease and increase points - I see that in legend all colors are the same.

Code example:

var pptSeries = pptChart.ChartData.Series[0];
pptSeries.Format.Fill.FillType = FillType.Solid;
pptSeries.Format.Fill.SolidFillColor.Color = Color.Blue;

pptSeries.DataPoints[1].Format.Fill.FillType = FillType.Solid;
pptSeries.DataPoints[1].Format.Fill.SolidFillColor.Color = Color.Lime;
pptSeries.DataPoints[2].Format.Fill.FillType = FillType.Solid;
pptSeries.DataPoints[2].Format.Fill.SolidFillColor.Color = Color.Lime;
pptSeries.DataPoints[3].Format.Fill.FillType = FillType.Solid;
pptSeries.DataPoints[3].Format.Fill.SolidFillColor.Color = Color.Brown;
pptSeries.DataPoints[5].Format.Fill.FillType = FillType.Solid;
pptSeries.DataPoints[5].Format.Fill.SolidFillColor.Color = Color.Brown;
pptSeries.DataPoints[6].Format.Fill.FillType = FillType.Solid;
pptSeries.DataPoints[6].Format.Fill.SolidFillColor.Color = Color.Lime;

Result - “Example2.pptx”

So I need solution for colored waterfall chart with supporting legend.
My goal - “Example3.pptx”
Pay attention to legends part, please!
