Change gridline color at specific value

Has anyone written a conditional statement to change a gridline value at a
specific value?
=iif(?=90, "Red","Silver")
Any advise is apreciated.
Thanks,
Scott A. BakerSorry, setting the color of individual gridlines is not supported.
Are you trying to set a specific horizontal gridline (in a column chart or
line chart) or a vertical gridline (in a bar chart)?

value.
This becomes helpful in setting a static goal line. In my example
=iif(?=90, "Red","Silver") , the 90 represents the goal.
Thank you for your response.

line. Set the data value expression to =90 and set the BorderColor property
accordingly.
Note: you don't use the gridlines to show your static goal line, but rather
you add a "fake" data series with a constant value to show the goal line.

Again thank you for your prompt response. I have added a static line to the
charts that cover multiple time periods. However, I also show a period
summary that only has one x axis value. In this case, a static line does
not work because there is not more than one data point to connect to.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Scott

But here is another idea for the summary scenario with only one datapoint:
turn off margins on the x-axis and use a column chart to draw a "zone"
instead of a target line. Since the margins are turned off, it would like if
the chart had then only two zones and your actual datapoint summary value
either is in the "good" or the "bad" zone.
