Here is a quick excel tip to make your charts look professional by showing symbols in the axis labels instead of text.
Just follow these 4 simple steps:
- First identify the symbols you want to show on the axis or as data label from symbol fonts like webdings, wingdings or a custom dingbat font like company logos
- Now use this symbol characters as axis labels
- Finally change the font to the selected symbol font
- Really there is no 4th step, so go ahead add a little jazz to the chart. Happy Friday!

What about the opposite? I want a list of products without sales or customers with no orders. So I would exclude the ones that are on the other table.
Good question. You can check for the =0 as countifs result. for example,
=FILTER(orders, COUNTIFS(products, orders[Product])=0)
should work in this case.
PS: I have added this example to the article now.
Hi there!
Could i check if there was a way to return certain fields of the table only?
so based off your example above, i would like to continue to use the 'Products" table as a way to filter out items from my "Orders" table, but only want to show maybe only the "Product" and "Order Value" fields, rather than all 5 fields (sales person, customer, product, date, order value).
