    Hi,

    I have two questions about building charts.

    Can I use conditional formatting on bar charts so that the color of the bar changes depending on the value?

    Can I format a bar chart so the values are displayed on the top of the bar without the need to hover the mouse over it?

    Hello Edward

    Unfortunately charts don't have many options, since the functionalities are based on free chart libraries.

    Adding conditional formatting to charts is only possible with wpDataCharts callbacks, if those options exist in chart engine's API.

    • Every chart exposes several options that customize its look and feel. Charts usually support custom options appropriate to that visualization. wpDataChart callbacks allow adding options that are available in Google Charts APIHighcharts API and Chart.js API
    • All necessary resources are available in charts engines API (depends on which one you use). Every engine has a different approach to chart settings. In wpDataChart callbacks you have to adopt those settings to the wpDataChart object (you can take a look at examples for each engine in our documentation, and also in Support help center). Huge number of examples for any area of programming can be found on stackoverflow.com (typing your problem in google and at the end add "site: stackoverflow.com" and google will search only that website). Also, a lot of examples of charts, chart settings and customization can be found on jsffidle.net (typing in google for example "line chart highcharts jsffidle")
    • Please note that using hooks or wpdatatable and wpDataChart callbacks requires certain level of programming skills and included support refers only to advice.

    Kind Regards,
