Around the Web 1

Below are interesting items from around the web:

The PTS Blog recently illustrated three VBA techniques for chart formatting:

Process Trends provides an interesting writeup on how to create Cycle Charts. Also included is a downloadable template with VBA code that automatically creates these charts.

Andy Pope recently provided a method for building Conditional Line Charts Using Formulas:

This chart displays a line that changes colour depending on whether it is above or below a control line. It is based on a xy-scatter chart.

The Excel Team Blog provides a writeup on chart templates for Office 2007:

One frequently underutilized feature in charting is the Chart Template. A chart template allows a user to quickly save and reapply settings from a previously created chart. Chart templates are standalone .crtx files that can be applied in a similar manner as chart types. In addition to saving the chart type, template files also contain chart element setting and formatting information. This information includes settings such as line and fill properties, axis settings, and element placement.

Have you seen those star raters and wonder how they work? Chris Curtis provides a link to a CSS Based Star Ranking System:

You’ve no doubt seen these sort of star raters before at places like Amazon, Netflix, etc. When you’re rating an item and mouse over a series of stars, they highlight showing you the number of stars you currently have selected. Typically, these types of features make use of javascript to enable that dynamic display. Well, now you can just use regular old CSS to make a CSS Star Rater. It’s really a pretty clever solution and if you have need of a feature like that then you should definitely give it a look.
