Morning,

how detailed are you trying to get with the conditional formatting of the chart? You have the ability to create conditional palettes for a chart so maybe that is something worth looking at.
If i'm honest i've not tried it myself but I've just had a quick look and reckon that it may be able to provide you the result your after.

i thonk no need of conditional formatting for acheiving this rank. In query create one data item with expression rank([product line] for report) and in filter give the expression as the dataitem<=20. So it diaplays all the values less than or equals to 20.
