Inserting Symbols
i am currently working on a report that displays variances for 2004 and 2005. What I am trying to do is build an If statement or a Macro which will allow me to represent the variance in symbolic form. For example: if the difference for a certain field is -10, i would like to represent that by 10*(arrow pointing down)..so that graphically the user can see that the difference of last year and this year is down by 10percent... i hope i am making myself clear, but the problem is that there is no 'insert symbol' in excel! i am working with excel 2000. thanks! ur help is highly apprecited. -- msb ------------------------------------------------------------------------ msb's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=26544 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=398109 |

You could open CharMap
(Windows start button|run|Charmap) and copy|paste (and format the cell or character with that font). or... Chip Pearson has an addin that may help (if you're using xl2k or lower). http://www.cpearson.com/excel/download.htm (look for Symbolizer and make sure you get the correct version) msb wrote: i am currently working on a report that displays variances for 2004 and 2005.
