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.
Please download the sample file here, pull it apart and see what you think.

Hi,
I downloaded this 2025 Calendar template. I checked the custom tab. Is it possible to change the weekend Fri & Sat.
Thanks
It is. Just use the option for fri & sat weekend (should be 7).
Activities of some dates are not getting displayed on "Any month" and "printable calendar" sheets.
e.g. Activity of 24 Apr 25.
Can you check again? The date in "planner" sheet should be a proper date. When I tested with 24-apr-2025, it works.
Love this calendar... I have highlight planner dates enabled but all dates are blue, is it possible to customize the color based on the type assigned to each date?
What would be the right way to add more Holidays in the Customizations?
Inserting rows in the Holiday List causes the blank cells in the calendar to turn Blue.
This is amazing!!! The best I've seen so far!! Is it possible to update it to consider a column for the final date? That way, if an event lasts more than one day, it repeats in the calendar
How do we change/insert the customization "Icon Options" ?
You can adjust these from the settings tab.
Is there anyway this can turn into an academic calendar (ie. start month is July and runs all the way through June of next year)?
Is there a way to make it something that is more than a day without having to add it to every day of that week.
