Hashed pattern in bargraphs - MS excel












0















I am drawing graphs for a paper that supports only black and white graphs. I need to show more than 3 histograms and want to have different patterns on them like hash, dotted, double hashed etc instead of different colors in the legend.



I am using MS Excel 2007.



I tried but dont find a way except for the option available in design tab that I find when I double click on the chart area( These are shades of grey color and I want patterns like hashing, dots etc).
Thanks in advance,

          use the shades of gray style and manually change each bar you want to have a pattern:




          1. righ-click on the bar

          2. choose Format data series

          3. choose Fill in the left column of the dialog box

          4. choose Pattern fill in the right column
