Thanks to Amit Velingkar, a Plan Supervisor around the Excel team, for placing collectively the following number of posts on conditional formatting.
In Excel 2007, we launched Icon Sets - a brand new type of conditional formatting. The essential notion is the fact that Excel draws an icon in every cell representing the value in the cell relative towards the other cells with the picked range. Icons sets really are a good way to produce groups of similar data as being a component of your data analysis.
In the instance under, we have the historical Product sales and Revenue quantities for any fictional bookstore. The very last column has the percentage of raise in earnings when in comparison for the former 12 months. We could see that icons sets really are a good way to visualize one of the most rewarding years inside the background of this bookstore.
received a lot of requests from users who wanted to extend their icon sets. Some for the popular requests were:
1. The ability to customize icon set arrangements. ability to choose a different icon from those provided during the set is good if we want to convey a particular meaning associated with the icon. For illustration, we might want to use a 3 flag icon set to group values,
buy windows 7 Home Basic, however we want to use a different icon instead from the red flag to indicate a potentially dangerous situation.
Apply only a single icon to cells that meet the criteria.
This arrangement can be used for highlighting (a technique for bringing attention to a certain area of one's spreadsheet). It is a recommended best practice that highlighting is most effective only when no more than 10 percent of values are highlighted. icon sets in Excel 2007 apply icons on the entire variety of cells, icon sets were not very effective as being a highlighting tool. While in the above example, we may want to only highlight the bottom set to highlight the potentially dangerous situation.
Excel 2010, we've new features in icon sets that address both these issues. These changes can be accessed from the “Edit Formatting Rule” dialog for icon sets. You may notice that this dialog looks a bit different from Excel 2007. improvements in Excel 2010 are as follows
1. Visually Select Icon sets
The new “Icon Style” dropdown lets you visually select the icon sets that you want. No longer do you have to guess the icon sets by name.
Customize Icon Arrangements
Each icon now has a dropdown associated with it. To change an icon set arrangement, simply click about the dropdown and choose a different icon.
Hide Icon
Each icon dropdown has an entry called “No Cell Icon”. Choose this option to hide the icons for cells that meet these specified criteria.
back to our instance,
Cheap Windows 7 Home Premium, we can highlight the many years that are most unprofitable by choosing “No Cell Icons” for the top 2/3’rd values inside the variety and choosing icon to indicate the least money-making years. Visually this looks as follows:
improvements will allow for greater control over icon set arrangements. Let us know what you think. If there’s more you’d like to see out for the icon sets feature within the future, leave a comment.
