    I keep changing the value of one of the 'Sales Target' so that the bar keeps changing from green to red and vice-versa, and it amazes me every time. Thank you!

    This has really helped me. I need help one step further. When you use this method and place data labels on each bar you get the "0" number at the bottom of each bar, how can you get rid of that?

    When I add data labels, both data labels appear (target met and target not met) for example, my table is guest satisfaction in a hotel. Room service surpassed the 85% target, they´re on 89%. Now on the table appears a green colum with 89%, but at the bottom, 0%, representing the red(invisable) colum of "target not met"). How to eliminate this?

    Not a fix, but a workaround would be to reverse the colour for the label. So the label colour for achieved would be red (and therefore show against the green background), but the hidden 0% would be green and therefore not visible

    I'm pretty new to excel and it may just be I am missing something, but when you delete that column at the beginning of the first graph, you don't explain what you're doing to get rid of it and I can't figure out what you did.

    its not deleted, its just not being selected for part of the chart. When the chart is clicked on, the cells that the data is coming from are highlighted. He just drags the border to take column B out. You can do it another why by selecting the chart, then on the ribbon selecting the design tab, then "select data"

    Ok... clearly you're an Excel Expert. Maybe you could help me format something. Ok, let me lay it out for you. I have one excel sheet (we'll call it Sheet2) that auto-refreshes it's data from a website, so the positions of the data can and will change from update-to-update. I have a second excel sheet (we'll call it Sheet1), where I'm trying to conditionally format the cell (if that's what I'm even supposed to be doing) to pull data from Sheet2... Layout... *Sheet2* Column A is the Name, Column B is a Number corresponding to Column A's Name. What I want to do in Sheet1 is have conditional formatting (over whatever I'm really looking to do) search Sheet2 for a name, then update a cell in Sheet1 with the corresponding number from Sheet2 Column B (Number). Example: Column A Column B John $85.00 Carl $45.00 Paul $610.00 Steve $58.00 I want to be able to write a formula to search for Paul, then plug in an input for the $610.00 from Column B. Is that possible?

    Hello Paul, Yes, it is possible!!! However, if I understood correctly you want to use the formula VLOOKUP so you can vertically lookup Paul and obtain $610 from column 2. If the value Paul can repeat more than once, then you want to use SUMIF, meaning sum column B every time you find the value Paul in column A. You follow? I trust that helps.
