Anyone have any idea or work around to show ratings besides just table or bar chart? I have a survey where people rated items 1-5 stars. I would like to show that in a format like this based on responses.
You can make stars by doing a beast mode like this:
(CASE WHEN AVG(Object_Health_Score) >= '.8' THEN ' ★★★★★' WHEN AVG(Object_Health_Score) >='.6' THEN ' ★★★★☆' WHEN AVG(Object_Health_Score) >= '.4' THEN ' ★★★☆☆' WHEN AVG(Object_Health_Score) >= '.2' THEN ' ★★☆☆☆' WHEN AVG(Object_Health_Score) < '.2' THEN ' ★☆☆☆☆' END)
Object_Health_Score
They end up looking this :
Use the Heatmap table:
@Ashleigh What if you tried a Waffle Gauge and set your symbol as a star with a target value of 5?
I agree with @MichelleH !
I did try a waffle but could not figure out how to get it to reduce the waffle size to one row.
To generalize @MarkSnodgrass 's solution a bit, you can use most Unicode characters to hack different visuals like this into your tables, summary numbers, chart labels. There a lot of lists of available Unicode characters, but this is my go-to: https://www.vertex42.com/ExcelTips/unicode-symbols.html
All the comments are super helpful, I'm working on a similar thing and need a star rating to show up. thanks all!
