How do you change the background color on a chart? I know how to change the color spec for the chart values but not the background itself.

Hello Nick - I have put out some feelers on changing the background color. I am not sure if there is a better way. A few years ago @Chris Davidson posted these two solutions.

Option 1: Group

V11: (top) Ribbon > Insert > Group

V12: (top) Report > Group

Both: Right-click inserted group > Properties > General > Grouping Style: Blue

...a few colors to choose from.

We can enlarge the group and place it behind other report components to provide a background color.

 

Option 2: HTML/CSS

V11: (top) Ribbon > Insert > HTML

V12: (top) Report > HTML

Both: Click inserted HTML component > (top) Ribbon > HTML > Edit content.

Copy/paste this code: <div style="width:500px; height:500px; background:blue"></div>

...edit size and color as needed. Place behind other report components to provide a background color.

Let me know if this helps! I will keep you posted if I find out any additional solutions.
