I've gone through this particular [ticket](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/5037), which pretty much talks about adding a threshold line, to a `line graph`. In my case, I'm having a `bar graph` like [this](http://imgur.com/a/qGxAl) where I need to have a threshold, lets say for example in the above graph itself I should be able to show the difference in each and every bar. In other words as per the above graph, it's displaying the `sum` of `chargeamount` according to the `filter` I've given. What I need to do is, to show the difference using a color in the same bar itself if the `sum` of `chargeamount` is greater than 50,000. So is there a way that I can show the bar with the default color for the filter (ie: the ones which are less than 50,000) and the rest should be shown in a different color conveying the threshold. So that the user can see the difference in the bar itself, whether they've achieved more than 50k. Is this possible using a `bar graph` or should I be get going with some other graph? **EDIT** : Just noticed that this [issue](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/4482) is still open. Any enhancement over that, or any work around available atm? Any help could be appreciated. 🙂 ---

You can do this with a timelion viz, but not a standard KB viz. ---

@warkolm Oh right, I'll give it a try using `timelion` then. But then for the moment, it isn't achievable using the `bar`? Thanks for the quick response! ---

It is not achievable with the default KB bar char. ---

Oh ok, thank you! I'll have to look another way of showing it then. ---
