Greetings,
I write reports and would like to increase the attractiveness of the data I present. I have the data in a workbook. The data are linked to a word document.
I would like to improve the way the table/chart/whatever it is called looks.
In the attached 'sample' and 'sample2' files, there are several examples of what I would like the output to look like.
You'll notice a couple of really cool features:
1) It looks professionally done.
2) The data include only tests that were administered (not every test is administered for each report). In contrast, I have to go into my Word table and manually delete the rows for the tests that were not administered. This takes time and is repetitive.
3) The table cells are color-coded depending on the score. For example, an 'average' IQ score such as 100 would be GREEN because an average IQ is good. On the other hand, an 'exceptionally low' IQ score of 65 would be RED because exceptionally low IQ scores are bad. I would like my table cells to change color when the data change. It's easy for consumers to understand and it looks great.
I am not looking for a free handout - I'll pay someone for help if it's a very time-intensive job. What I would really prefer would be for someone to tell me:
1) How are these sample graphs created? What technology do I need to learn make things look like this?
2) Is this something I can learn to do myself in several hours, or is it something I would be better off outsourcing?
Thanks for your help!
Semper fi,
Paul
