Firstly, I would like to thank cacharbe for his wonderful tutorial, to get me going way long back.
Now, what I need in an excel graph is this:-

I have an excel sheet full of little tables of 2 columns * [2-7] rows each. Most of them are redundant, except that the table headers change. Each table is for one department and the table for one department looks something like this: 
Name      Hours
loy       13 
toy       12
mccoy     05 
roy       47
loy       24
toy       05
joy       24

[download]
What I want is to create a graph (Bar/XYColumn) for each of the tables, and, here comes the tricky part, have a color attached to one bar of the chart based on the values of the 'hour', so that I get, say differrent colors for 'hours' ranging from 0-10, 11-20 and so on...

I want some clues on how to get the color for each column.

Many thanks!
Rupesh.
