Default graphic in excel based upon result

In one of the available templates, there are icons that appear in the results
cell based upon if the result is at or below budget, and also variable icons
based upon how far over budget. So, you see, for example, a green circle in
the left section of the cell along with the results if you are at or below
budget. I have a use for this functionality but need assistance as to how to
program this.

Hi Mike,

Use Conditional Formatting in Excel 2007.

Select the cell(s) of interest --"Conditional Formatting" -- "Icon Sets"
-- Select the icon set you want (e.g., three circles)

It will show green circles for higher values and red circles for lower
values, and if you want the opposite,

Select the cells again -- "Conditional Formatting" -- "Manage Rules" --
"Edit Rule" -- check the box "Reverse Icon Order" at the bottom of the panel
-- "OK" -- "OK"

You can also change the criteria for the cutoff values for the different
colors when you edit the CF rule.

If this is helpful, please give feedback by clicking "Yes".

Regards,
B. R. Ramachandran
