@Peltier - Delete “0″ from columns C and D. Repeat steps 4 to 7 for Series “Green”. You will get chart as shown in last pic. Try it out. It works

@John - See my reply to Peltier. Let me know if you face any problem in creating this chart

Your blog doesn’t seem to be complete without Peltier’s comments and direction to use the excel chart application.

This is much easier to follow than Peltier’s rather obscure instructions!

You left out a step or two.

You didn’t say what to do with the two extra columns of data. Your initial column chart would have three column series. To get the capability to label below the axis (to get the “below” option for the data labels) the red and green series must be converted to line chart type. Then the series have to be hidden by formatting without lines or markers.

To make it easy to change your cutoff (the value 500), place it into another cell, and link your formulas to this cell. Now you only need to change the value in the cell, not all of your formulas.

When looking at data the thing in everyone’s mind is: What am I supposed to do? This gets them a bit closer to the answer.

This is a very simple yet very effective tip Gunjan.
