hi everyone, I am trying to find out if there is a way to have an image automatically appear in my cell once i enter a value. For example if it enter the number "1" i want a quarter circle to appear in that same cell, if i enter the number "2" then a half circle appears in that cell and so on. I know i can use =IF(G1=1,"quarter",IF(G1=2,"half",IF(G1=3,"threequarter",IF(G1=4,"full","")))) but for this i have to use multiple back end cell and define a name for each one. I just want a quick way to have the image appear using a formula i can drag down. hope this is clear, thanks you your help!
 

Excel Facts

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.
If you use Conditional formatting with the circle Icon Sets then you get the shapes you are seeking.

Here is a formula that you can place in another cell:

=CHOOSE(G1,"◔","◑","◕","●")

If you want the shape to appear in the same cell that you enter the value in, that will require VBA.
