204 Chapter 9 Creating Charts
Formatting you’ve applied to the chart you’re changing may not be applied to the
new chart. For example, the color fill attribute has a different default value for each
type of chart. If you’ve changed a column fill color and then change the chart to be a
bar chart, the fill color change isn’t retained.
 Depending on the type of chart, the attributes that may change when you change a
chart’s type are show value label, value label position, text style, series stroke, series
shadow, series fill, data point symbol, and data point fill.
 Bar/column charts and stacked bar/column charts share attributes except for value
label position. Also, bar/column charts have separate fills.
 3D chart shadows are shared across chart types.
When you change a chart’s type and the new type has some of the same attributes,
those attributes don’t change. Shared attributes include axes, gridlines, tick marks, axis
labels, show minimum value, number format, borders, rotation, shadows, and 3D
lighting style.
You’ll learn more about these attributes throughout the remainder of this chapter.
