You could do it, but I wouldn't.

I would think that those pictures would cause more trouble than what they're
worth--sorting/filtering may cause a bunch of trouble.

If I really wanted something "organic", I'd stick with format|Conditional
formatting. In fact, I'd even use a separate column of formulas and put an
indicator there.

I can use that column of indicators for lots of things that format|conditional
formatting (and pictures) can't be used.


Thankyou for your advice! Ordinarily I consider myself an advanced user of
excel, but there is always something new to learn, and maybe I am not as
advanced as I think I am.

Also, this form wouldn't need to be filtered or sorted.

So, I don't understand what you mean when you say "use a separate column of
formulas and put an indicator there."


Thankyou again for your input.
