Change the color of a Bar based on an expression

Hi Everyone, I'm traying to change the color of a bar in a bar chart to RED Based on this expression but I keep getting the 'error in expression' message.   Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? 

Thanks! 

George

= (Sum (AMOUNT_AT_RISK_USD) - Sum (AMOUNT_PREVENTED_USD) - Sum (AMOUNT_RECOVERED_USD))>0, RED())

Sunny - this is a continuation of the issue above.  I think I'm missing something.......... in the screen print below you can see that I've got the colors working the way I want them..........the problem now is the presentation.  Everything is grouped on the Country, How do I get separate bars for the Amount at Risk, Prevented/Recovered and Total Loss..........grouped by country.  I would be looking at a possible 3 bars per country??? Take Hungary for example, I'ld like to see the Blue, Green and Red bars side by side.   Is that an additional dimension?Bars.JPG

Do you multiple dimensions and multiple expressions in your application? I think you will need to change somethings around to make this work. Would it be possible to share a sample?

May be try this

Chart Properties -> Style Tab -> Check Grouped rather than Stacked.

Yes, that would work.  I see your expression on the Axis, where would you enter that??

If you open the application I have attached you would see that I replaced you two dimensions with a single dimension. Do that will be added as your dimension

What is the Chr function representing here?

Line break... basically pushes Region and Country in two different rows.
