Is there anyway to have Column Charts segmented by Year like the line chart so that i can adjust the colours etc. Because when i use he compare to same period it seems to always be the same colour scheme and i can not adjust them.

Hi Anthony, the "segment by" option is only available in line charts, scatter plots, tree maps, and geo charts. In column charts, you can stack the metrics used to differentiate the colors if needed, but the date/year can certainly still be used in the view by option. Would you be able to provide a screenshot and more details as to what you are missing in a column chart and how necessary it is for your reporting?
