		<description>Hi Kaylan,

Thank you for the guide - very informative. Trend icons are indeed a nice little feature!

In addition to your post, I would just say that trend icons rarely display yellow, when the target is precisely met. Often you want to display green if target is met or above. Maybe display yellow if you are within a 10% margin and red if you are below. 

Naturally this can be accomplished by Excel logic with nested if clauses.

ex. let B1=current value and B2=target

&lt;img src=&quot;http://myxcelsius.com/wp-content/uploads/formula.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;formula&quot; /&gt;

You could then further set the percentage level that should yield yellow through a separate cell. Say that you input 15 in a different cell (say C5) to use that as the new percentage level.

Then you would substitute the part B2*0,9 with B2*(1-C5/100)


By the way - thank you for a very informative and nice-looking blog. I enjoy reading your posts - keep up the good work!

Regards,
