MultipleColors property confuses the DataEditor


User (Legacy)

Recommended Posts

I have a data series that under some conditions must change colors.  Below is an example image of where the "Checkbook (Base)" series changes from red (November) to green (December).  I use the MulitpleColors property to enable marker by marker color choices.  But as you can see in the image, the rows in the data editor do not have any markers and there are erroneous column markers also.  However, the chart looks fine and so does its legend. 

Can you suggest a fix for the data editor or another approach?

I have include some code below the image.

Thank you,

'Set the size and color of the trace markers (by series)

'Base year (yellow)

cfxBBL.Series(0).Color = RGB(255,255,0)

cfxBBL.Series(0).MarkerSize = 7

'Previous year (white)

cfxBBL.Series(1).Color = RGB(255,255,255)

cfxBBL.Series(1).MarkerSize = 3

'When MultipleColors is set to TRUE, the index is a combination of the series

'and the point indexes. i.e. if you want to set the color for the 4Th series and
