Color bands in bar charts in Microsoft Excel 2010
Is it possible to obtain a bar chart like the one in this example:
(that is: I need to have vertical color bands to make "visually" group the bars for each horizontal axis' point.)
Any ideas?

Yes, you can do this by essentially creating one series of bars as your "background" then overlay the new series on top. It seems a bit odd, creating a data series purely for coloring but it works. It can be a bit tricky to visualize, but thankfully there's already a nice visual guide and detailed instructions for this here:
