How to change the color of differents column of a Bar Chart

Hi guys,

I have a big issue in my Bar chart. It's setted as grouped and vertical.

As Dimention I have the months of the year, and as measures I have the total value of three years of sales (2013, 2014, 2015).

I'm trying to change the color of the year's columns on the chart.

I'm trying to set:

-2013's columns, intto grey.

-2014's columns into blue.

-2015 columns into yellow.

I tried this formula, but I changes all the cloumns of the chart to blue.

IF( Sum([2015]), yellow(), if( Sum([2014]), blue(), rgb(199, 199, 199)))


I would like to know what's wrong in my formula and if there is a better way to do it.

I attached a screenshot of the original chart( without the formula) and a screenshot with the formula to facilitate.


Thanks a lot in advance.

Best Regards,

Fernando
