🚀 Practical Applications:
- Visually represent data changes or deviations with symbols and colors in Excel reports.
- Apply custom formatting to enhance data readability and interpretation without conditional formatting.
- Create dynamic Excel tables that automatically adjust formatting based on predefined rules.

Method #3: Use any symbol of your choice to show deviations and conditionally format these using custom formatting

Method #4: Use custom formatting to only show higher or lower deviations, i.e. use thresholds in custom formatting. The general custom formatting syntax that most are familiar with, is to format positive, negative, zero and text values. But you can also use custom formatting to format higher, lower and medium boundaries. In this video you'll see how that works.
