If you open the Advanced dialog box by selecting the Advanced button in the Color List dialog box, you can use it to define certain patterns to some specific values in a chart to make the same value the same effect. Note that this feature does not apply to surface 3-D, gauge bubble 2-D, and all scatter chart types, and the settings in the dialog box have higher priority than the ones in the Color List dialog box.

Values
The column shows the values to which you select to apply the fill patterns.
- If the chart has series field, specify a series value to which to apply the fill pattern.
