Hi,
is it possible to create conditional formatting of icon set as an indicator of task status, i.e. if an action is "in progress", i want to show a yellow circle icon next to "in progress", if an action is "completed", i want to show a green circle icon next to it.

The icon set currently in Excel only seems to follow either number or percentage values, instead of text.


Thanks!
