Hello all

I need help with my Impact Effort Matrix. The records results in column C and D starting at row 5 is my Impact and Effort results. see the sample chart below.

I would like to do 2 things

How do I create a formula for my chart starting F5 where it will address all of the following conditions and give me the appropriate results and add a color for condition and its matching results in column F:
If C= 4 or 5 and D=4 or 5, then HighImpact-Hard
If C= 1 or 2 and D=4 or 5, then LowImpact-Hard
If C= 4 or 5 and D=1 or 2, then HighImpact-Easy
If C= 1 or 2 and D=1 or 2, then LowImpact-Easy
If C= 3 and D=1 or 2, then NeutralImpact-Easy
If C= 3 and D=4 or 5, then NeutralImpact-hard
If C= 4 or 5 and D=3, then HighImpact-NeutralEffort
If C= 1 or 2 and D=3, then LowImpact-NeutralEffort

Also, to the right of my table B5 to E94 is there a way to create a 4 quadrant plot, where the top left is the highImpact-hard, the bottom left= LowImpact-hard, the top right=highimpact-Easy, the bottom right= lowimpact-Easy and place the cell number in column B that matches the records condition in column C&D into the appropriate quadrant. row 5 is the first record. row 4 is the heading row.

Excel Facts

What is =ROMAN(40) in Excel?
The Roman numeral for 40 is XL. Bill "MrExcel" Jelen's 40th book was called MrExcel XL.
In order to click the buttons, Design Mode needs to be unselected. Then, you should be able to click the buttons. If not, let me know... I can't think of anything offhand that would be making them not work unless their names changed when you copied the book.

Its running now, however, i got a runtime error
Method Range of Object_Worksheet failed
for

Set tB1 = ws.Shapes.AddTextbox(msoTextOrientationHorizontal, Range(yVal(Range("D" & i).Value) & xVal(Range("C" & i).Value)).Offset(3, 1).Left + 16, Range(yVal(Range("D" & i).Value) & xVal(Range("C" & i).Value)).Offset(3, 1).Top + 8, 30, 15)

so only some of the results populated the 4 quadrants.

Is the book something you could send to me so that I may look at the code? Without seeing it, I'm afraid I not sure exactly why it's getting an error.
