Last week I introduced the technique of using custom Number Formats for Chart Axis Labels which was well received.
So Today I present a few more alternatives, some being sourced from comments raised in the first post
Highlight Axis Ranges in Color
Axis Number Format: [Blue][<=40]0;[Red][>=100]0;[Green]0
Axis Font: Normal
Highlight Thousands as K
Axis Number Format: [<=1000]#,##0;[>1000]#,##0.0, K;0
Axis Font: Normal
Highlight Data Labels
In the original post I mentioned briefly that this technique can be applied to Data Labels, but didn’t demonstrate it.
Data Labels Colored according to Value
Axis Number Format: [Blue][<80]0;[Red][>=80]0
Axis Font: Normal
Data Label Number Format: [Blue][<80]0;[Red][>=80]0
Data Label Font: Normal
Data Labels Highlighted with Symbols
Axis Number Format: [Blue][=80]”4″;[Red][=60]”8″;
Axis Font: Webding
Data Label Format: [Blue][>=80]”P”;[Red][<80]”O”;
Data label Font: Wing Dings 2
SO HOW DO THESE WORK?
As with cells you can apply custom Number formats to any of the Charts numerical objects including the Charts Axis and Data Point Labels.
You can read a full discussion in the original post or …
Select the Chart and then the Axis or Data Point Labels.
Goto the Number Tab and select Custom
Insert the formats text, Add
Apply

Thanks for the update and happy to know that you and family are doing good. A 21 day lockdown has now been announced in India (I live around Kolkata) so it's uncertain times ahead. I check up on your wonderful articles often and will do so even more regularly now. Stay safe and God bless.
