Show Progress Using an Image in Excel Chart (WordArt Infochart with % completion)

This video showcases a creative approach to using Excel for visually impactful presentations. The tutorial demonstrates how to conditionally format WordArt to display project completion percentages in a dynamic and visually appealing way. This technique involves manipulating WordArt and Excel features like clustered column charts and linked pictures, without any need for VBA scripting.
⬇️ Download the workbook here: pages.xelplus.com/wordart-exc...
The process starts by setting up a WordArt text box linked to a cell displaying the project's completion percentage. A clustered column chart is then created, representing the percentage completed and the remaining portion. Adjustments are made to overlap the chart bars and to alter the appearance, ensuring the filled part of the bar reflects the completion percentage.
To seamlessly integrate this chart with the WordArt, the tutorial guides you through creating a linked picture of the chart and cropping and rotating it to fit within the WordArt. This results in an innovative presentation element where the percentage completion visually fills up the WordArt, dynamically changing with the project's progress.
The video emphasizes that no advanced programming skills are required, making this technique accessible for regular Excel users. This approach is suitable for enhancing project presentations, making them more engaging and informative. The tutorial concludes by highlighting the ease of grouping and manipulating these elements as a single object within Excel, linked directly to the data source for real-time updates.
This video covers two topics that lets you get creative with Excel:
1. How to have dynamic word art that is controlled with a formula
2. How to create bar in bar Excel charts
As a bonus we put them together to create an info-chart that shows percentage completed of a specific task.

    Hi Leila, Bravo, encore!! You should add this to your chart course, it fits right into it! Where did you get the idea for this, this is totally amazing. You're definitely thinking outside the box. I wonder how these techniques can be applied to a pie chart where the pieces of the pie increase as the percentage goes up. In other words, you start showing only a portion of the piece (not the whole pie as it typical) and as you increase or decrease its value only this portion of the piece is being shown. If you have 35% of the total, only 35% is shown and the other 75% is invisible. Do you think this would be possible? I'll add this to the file.

    Hi Michael - the idea actually came from a question from JP on the Excel Forum. Here is the link: www.excelforum.com/excel-charting-and-pivots/1193412-percentage-number-to-have-a-fill-up-to-its-value.html I think the pie chart one can work, by adding a series for the other half (so 1 minus the % of piece) and then making the other half white.... maybe with just a thin black border... thanks for adding this to the file too :)

    You can first export the image and then attach it to an outlook email. I cover this actually in my VBA course with a PDF document. You can do early binding here and activate the outlook reference library. An alternative option is to use the send email option from Excel directly (which uses your default email) - this way you can send a worksheet as an attachment. You could copy the range to a separate tab first - paste as values and attach the Excel sheet if that's an option...

    Very clever, but too involved. I'd never use this. Do like to see what can be done with the linked objects.
