Excel Intermediate course

Conditional formatting

In conditional formatting is there a way of making the icons closer to the data in the cell so it easier on the eye - without left aligning the cells?

Sorry - resolved I clicked on the wrong button

RE: conditional formatting

Hi Zoe, thanks for your query. I'm afraid you are stuck with the position of icons generated by conditional formatting - they are baked into the application and there is no way to really manipulate them.

Hope this helps,

Anthony

RE: conditional formatting

Hi Zoe, there is work around to position icons to the right of data. But have to first copy data to adjacent column to right then edit the conditional formatting rule ticking 'Show Icon only'. Finally clear the conditional formatting for the original data. If the figures are likely to change could paste link into the adjacent column. Complicated but as Anthony said those icons are stuck unless you show icons only.

Excel tip:

Turn off AutoComplete in Excel

You may have noticed when typing into your spreadsheets that if you start to enter labels that begin with the same letters as a label that has been previously entered in the same spreadsheet, Excel will try and automatically complete the text for you. This feature is called AutoComplete.

If you find this feature more annoying than useful, you can turn it off by:

1. Going to Tools - Options.

2. Select the Edit tab.

3. Remove the tick from next to the "Enable AutoComplete for cell values" option.

4. Click OK.
