Color Wizard -->newbie problems

I am just trying to get how does it work the color wizard.

I have built a simple table with just one column then I have built a chart with one expression sum(data1)

So far ... it's just a simple chart. No problems at all.

Now I would like to use the color wizard in order to have for the highest and lowest values different colors.

I have used the wizard by puting in the expression sum(data1)/sum(total data1) .

Obviusly it doesn't work.

I would be pleased if somebody can help me with an example about that. Just for understanding how it works.

Thanks in advance for any kind of help

I've used the rank() function in the past to sort this one:

=if(rank(sum([Order Count]))=1,rgb(198,255,198),if(rank(sum(total [Order Count])-sum([Order Count]))=1,rgb(255,198,198)))

Where 'Sum([Order Count])' is the expression in my table. Simply place the expression in the Background Colour expression box (click the '+' next to the expresion).

You can alter the rgb() values to change the colour scheme as required.
