You might be the best tutor who ever existed. Your videos are amazing. Much respect.

[@LeilaGharani]

Wow, thanks Mohammed!

[@sujithkamath]

To avoid charts resetting, you can save the original chart as template and apply that template in the new chart using "change chart type > templates"

[@janskov9309]

Great tip 👌

[@sergecharlebois6114]

A lot of people came here claiming they were really good in Excel and then realised there is so much more going on thanks to Leila... I'm one of them, so happy I found this channel!

[@LeilaGharani]

Great to hear, Serge!

[@jameslucas5590]

I've been working with Excel since 2.0 (1988) and I've never considered doing info-graphics before with Excel. This was a very enjoyable tutorial. I've subscribed and banged the bell. Thank you for creating.

[@LeilaGharani]

I'm glad you liked it. Welcome to the community!

Because it's useless. Nobody does this in excel. It takes too much time. There are better softwares that allow you to visualize your data more efficiently.

Just when you think you know enough about graphs, Leila comes and shows us more interesting stuff!! My takes on this video are the overlapping columns, the copy+paste of shapes and icons and the ctrl+shift+C and ctrl+shift+V. Thanks Leila :)

[@katrinesofialind649]

This is next level wizardry. How have I used Excel for 15 years of school and university and never known this :O KZbin really is the future of learning skills.

[@abdul-azeezolohunjuwon3588]

Wao...The more I watch, the more I learn Thanks Leila

[@kaml005]

In case it gets overlap, you can fix the icon using IF condition on Icon value, say upto 15%. That way even though icon goes out of blue shade into grey , it's better than overlap as beyond 15%(15%-0%) the icon stops moving. Ex:=IF(A2-0.05

Considering the "Stay-At-Home-'til-who-knows-when", your tutorial has made the time worth spending and has definitely brought some sanity in this trying time. Focusing on what I can do is more productive than ranting about the things I'm kept from doing. I've actually scheduled a tutorial a day to have some sense of routine. Through all of this, I"ll be more skilled long after this pandemic. Again, Thanks. Where ever on the side of the globe you may be, I wish you and your family to be safe. I wish all of us well.

[@WillBrigg]

FYI, the shapes only get updated if the new range doesn't overlap the original range - so if you expand it to cover both, and then shrink it, you should be able to keep the formatting.

[@ejimenezc]

do you know how to fix it? it happens to me when female bar is 90% or 100%

[@zuzanaschmidtova9564]

Question re icon and label overlap when values small: Firstly, thank you for this excellent tip; I tried it and it looks great. My question is, how can one factor in a change in the position of the labels and icons for when the values fall small, so that they don't overlap? For example at 10% the label and icon sit on top of each other. Can a , say, conditional formatting with IF() be used to change the label position to avoid this? Many thanks for all your tutorials, Z Addendum 1: On my sheet when the percentage for one of the chart data series falls below 26% the icon and series label start to overlap. So I changed the Icon's X axis position formula on the spreadsheet to: =IF(B4

[@sebastians5691]

Unbelievable what excel can do!! So complicated and u teach all this so easily!

[@Benjamino1987]

An awesome tutorial. Thanks a lot! There is one small issue concerning the minimum values. If the values become too low there will be an overlap of the symbol and the data label. This can be solved in the following way: - Add another dataseries which is the static absolute minimum - Give its bar the same color as the dynamic bar - Use an if-formula on the data of the symbol --> if(symbol position < minimum, use minimum, use original value) (adjust position if needed, in my case it was the original data number minus 0.05) This fixes it, although it takes away the dynamic in the lower range of the values. Another option might be to bring the symbol outside the data bar and giving it an opposite color. This can be done by adding another scatterplot I think, but I'll have to test that.
