I have a 100% BarChart that will have two bars, each with two peices:

Bar #1: Target sales goal for the year.  
........Chunk 1: Based on today's date, where SHOULD the store be for
sales.
........Chunk 2: Based on today's date, how much SHOULD they have left
to sell.


Bar #2: Actual sales for the year.
........Chunk 1: Sales the store has actually accumulated.
........Chunk 2: Sales remaining to meet their goal.



So, let's say the following facts:

1. The store has a $100,000 sales goal for the year.  
2. The fiscal year runs from Jan-Dec.
3. It is currently July (for the sake of example).
4. So far, the store has had $40,000 in sales.

My bars should have the following data:

Target: 
1st chunk: $50,000 ($100,000/12months * 6)  (bar color: blue)
2nd chunk: $50,000 ($100,000 - 1st peice)   (bar color: gray)

Actual:
1st chunk: $40,000  (bar color: SEE BELOW)
2nd chunk: $60,000  (bar color: always gray)


Now, what I want to change dynamically on this chart is the bar color
of the 1st peice from "Actual".  For example, if the store is 20%
below where they should be for sales, I want the bar to be red.  If
they are within 5%, make it yellow.  Anything else and it's green.

However, the kicker here is that I want to leave the Target bar colors
alone.  The only thing that I want to change is the Actual bar, 1st chunk.

So, the question is:  Within the same 100% bar chart, can you change
the color of a single chunk within a bar while leaving the rest alone?

Sorry for the long winded setup, but I hope that makes sense what I'm
trying to accomplish.

Thanks,
Jake
