Last week I wrote a post on how to develop a Stacked Bar/Column Chart with an indicator arrow which you can read here: http://chandoo.org/wp/2016/09/12/stacked-bar-and-indicator-arrow-chart-tutorial/

This week I have taken that technique and added some high-performance steroids.

I have allowed for three (High, Medium and Low) Indicator arrows, which can be in any order

I am not going to go through how to construct it, as it is exactly the same as last weeks post, except that it needs a few helper cells.

It can be applied to both Column Charts as above or Bar Charts as below:

The other thing to remember is that you can use any Shape as the indicators.

    Just add a column calculating the "performance" or whatever is your criteria and sort by it? No?

    Just thought I would mention, the "weird" custom sort behavior mentioned at 5:45 where "% return" doesn't appear to be sorting is because the "August Purchases" field has the sort preference and since these are such unique values, no additional sorting is possible on the "% return" field. If there were two entries that had the same "Customer Since" year AND the same "August Purchases" amount, THEN you would see a sorting of the "% return" on these two entries.
