Hello all

I need help with my Impact Effort Matrix. The records results in column C and D starting at row 5 is my Impact and Effort results. see the sample chart below.

I would like to do 2 things

How do I create a formula for my chart starting F5 where it will address all of the following conditions and give me the appropriate results and add a color for condition and its matching results in column F:
If C= 4 or 5 and D=4 or 5, then HighImpact-Hard
If C= 1 or 2 and D=4 or 5, then LowImpact-Hard
If C= 4 or 5 and D=1 or 2, then HighImpact-Easy
If C= 1 or 2 and D=1 or 2, then LowImpact-Easy
If C= 3 and D=1 or 2, then NeutralImpact-Easy
If C= 3 and D=4 or 5, then NeutralImpact-hard
If C= 4 or 5 and D=3, then HighImpact-NeutralEffort
If C= 1 or 2 and D=3, then LowImpact-NeutralEffort

Also, to the right of my table B5 to E94 is there a way to create a 4 quadrant plot, where the top left is the highImpact-hard, the bottom left= LowImpact-hard, the top right=highimpact-Easy, the bottom right= lowimpact-Easy and place the cell number in column B that matches the records condition in column C&D into the appropriate quadrant. row 5 is the first record. row 4 is the heading row.

Is this a sample of your data? How is it interpreted?

Also, with the graph/plot, is it possible to have duplicates in the list in B, C, D? And if so, would you want all the occurrences appear in the plot?

Is this a sample of your data? Yes How is it interpreted? as cell numbers from the B column

Also, with the graph/plot, is it possible to have duplicates in the list in B, C, D? all matches from column F will result in the same quadrant. And if so, would you want all the occurrences appear in the plot? B5, B6, B7,....B94 and the plot starts in column K
and when you mouse over each plot result it should highlight the matching cell in column B.

I want to be like the concept in the link below

and when you mouse over each plot result it should highlight the matching cell content in column B. Also, have an overall background color in column B for each quadrant results.

I was attempting to post this before lunch, but take a look at this:

Is this heading in the right direction? I don't know if I can do any fancy highlighting column B based on what cell you mouse over in the plot. Also, I can't look at that video until I get home probably.

not quite, I think the video will help clear it up. it is a pretty good with a few modifications. If you cant do the move-over then maybe if you click on the plot result, will select the cell record in column B or highlight the record in column A, something like that

Ok, I watched the video and I think I see what you are after. Do you want a manual drag and drop for each item so you can place them in the chart where you want? Or were you thinking of something automatic based on the formula/scoring results?

Is the list in column B permanent? Or will the items change over time? Will the list always be the same length?
