Hi,

I am not an Excel expert so please pardon me if this question sounds stupid.

I have two column on Excel. Country and Revenue. Now, I want to create some kind of Macro which can populate an image based upon the data. For example, consider two columns:

Country | Revenue

US | $20,000
Australia | $40,000

There is an image - World Map. Now, when I run the macro, it should display (or highlight) the figures $20,000 and $40,000 at US and Australia on that World Map. The image can reside on the same sheet or different sheet. I actually wanted to have this image come up on running the Macro.

So, basically, I am trying to have a Map show data/pattern which makes it easier for User to identify/read data.

I am sure we may have other tools to implement this but can i get any closer on Excel? I am not sure how much can Excel deliver for such functionalities.

Did you know Excel offers Filter by Selection?
Add the AutoFilter icon to the Quick Access Toolbar. Select a cell containing Apple, click AutoFilter, and you will get all rows with Apple
Excel used to have this functionality, but not any more, not without shelling out some money on an add-in ( MapPoint is supposed to do this, but I've never been bothered enough to buy it ).
