1. Select the range of values we want to represent (from B2 to B8 here).


2. Click Conditional Formatting on the Home tab, then choose Icon Sets, then pick 3 Symbols (Uncircled) in the gallery of options.
They're represented by a green check box, a yellow exclamation point and a red "X". At this point, you have both the values (0 or 1) and the
icon represented on the sheet.
3. Click Conditional Formatting again, and then choose the Manage Rules command.
4. Click the Edit Rule button.
5. Check the Show Icon Only check box, click Apply, then click OK. Voilà!

Where Excel 2007 shines even more is that you can now filter this list by color. With the active selection being anywhere in the list, click the
Data tab, then the Filter button. As you can see each column header now includes a drop-down arrow indicating it is filtered. Click the filter
on the Will attend column, and then choose the Filter by Color command. See how you can now filter by green check boxes, showing only
the people who will attend the event.
