Recently, someone asked me why all the columns in their pivot chart were the same colour. The chart showed several months of data, for multiple regions, and every column was blue.

最近，有人问我为什么数据透视图中的所有列都是相同的颜色。 该图表显示了多个区域的几个月数据，每列均为蓝色。

In the screen shot below, I've created a similar pivot chart, from fake sales data.

在下面的屏幕截图中，我根据虚假的销售数据创建了一个类似的数据透视图。

更改枢轴字段布局 (Change the Pivot Field Layout)

In this example, the chart shows sales data, per city, over two years. When the chart is created, all the columns are the same color, because there is only one series. It's easy to change though – if you want to see columns with different colors, move one of the fields into the Column area in the PivotTable Field List.

在此示例中，图表显示了两年中每个城市的销售数据。 创建图表时，所有列都是相同的颜色，因为只有一个系列。 不过，更改很容易–如果要查看具有不同颜色的列，请将字段之一移到数据透视表字段列表的“列”区域中。

1. Click on the Pivot Chart, to select it. NOTE: When a Pivot Chart is selected, the area names change -- Rows becomes Axis (Categories) and Columns becomes Legend (Series) 单击数据透视图，将其选中。 注意：选择数据透视图时，区域名称会更改-行变为轴(类别)，列变为图例(系列)
2. In the PivotChart Fields window, drag a field from the Axis (Categories) box, to the Legend (Series) box. That creates a series for each item in that field, and shows each series in a different color. 在“数据透视图字段”窗口中，将一个字段从“轴(类别)”框拖到“图例(系列)”框。 这将为该字段中的每个项目创建一个系列，并以不同的颜色显示每个系列。

不同颜色的列 (Columns With Different Colors)

After you move one of the fields into the Column (Legend) area, the chart changes, and shows columns with different colors. In the first screen shot below, the OrderYr field was moved. Now there is a series for each year, with 2014 in blue and 2015 in orange.

将字段之一移到“列(图例)”区域后，图表将更改，并显示不同颜色的列。 在下面的第一个屏幕截图中，OrderYr字段已移动。 现在每年都有一系列，蓝色为2014年，橙色为2015年。

If you moved the City field instead, a series would be created for each city.

如果改为移动“城市”字段，则会为每个城市创建一个系列。
