Traffic-Light Charts to Delight Managers (from ExcelUser)

"Your managers will love traffic-light charts. Here's why...

Managers tend to experience at least two challenges with charts. First, as they glance over reports, they must pause at each chart to determine whether an upward trend is a good result (with sales, for example) or is a bad result (with costs, for example). They could scan results much more quickly if each chart made it obvious whether the current results show good or bad news. "
