Excel 2016 from Scratch Exercise
Visualization M, Pivot Table and Chart, Conditional formatting
An Excel tutorial by Peter Kalmstrom
 In
this demo in the Excel 2016 from Scratch series Peter Kalmstrom
starts with an Excel file where color coding has been used
to highlight values that are over budget.
Peter advises against using color coding this way. Instead
he recommends the more useful conditional formatting, that
makes it possible to present the data in a pivot table and
a pivot graph.
Exercise
If you want to try the exercise yourself, please
