Hi guest,

I think you are talking about Cognos 8 Report Studio.

You can create a boolean variable with condition which evaluates your measure value in the chart(such that quantity < 0).
Then click on your chart, go to Style variable. Choose the variable we created above from the popup window.
Now, click on Conditional Explorer then on "Yes" option of our variable. The Explorer Bar turns green meaning that now whenever our variable value becomes true (ie., Quantity is < 0) then we can do lot of things with our chart now.
There is a property called as "Box Type". If you set it to "None", the object for which you set this becomes invisible.
So, now for our chart also we sett this to None. After this double click on the explorer bar. The explorer bar color is changed to normal now. Conditional formatting is set now.
Run the report and check if it is really working or not.

yeah..the above solution given by sandeep is rt..I have done such type of a requirement.
