Thank you! It was very useful. The formula has changed since this video and it is now: =SPARKLINE(B12;{"charttype"\"bar";"max"\1}) The bar is full for 100% then
Glad it helped! Are you outside of the U.S.? I wonder if it's different for Google Sheets users outside of U.S. or North America. For this video, using cell E2 as the first parameter, the backslashes returned an error for me. When I changed it to commas, the formula worked.
Once you enter the formula, click on the cell and change it in the formula bar or you can double-click on the cell and change the color there. Hope that helps.
When using the code =SPARKLINE(E5,{"charttype","bar";"max",100%;"color1","green";"empty","zero"}) What does the ;"empty","zero" achieve? I tried it without and it still shows progress bar that looks accurate
You're right. If I remember, it solved an issue where it displayed something else like #N/A for zero values but it looks like the Google Sheets team fixed it.
Thank you so much for the tutorial, it was very helpful :) Quick question, is there a way to add color to different percentages? For example from 1 to 25% it shows a red bar, while 26% to 50% shows an orange one and so on? It would look very cool if I could add that up.
@@GrowthLearner Thank you for your response! Actually, with some AI and your video I managed to find the formula for what I needed and I want to share it with you: =SPARKLINE( B11, { "charttype", "bar"; "max", 1; "color1", IF(B11
@@hugorenewingartz4173 I'm happy you found a solution! This video idea is in the queue! I kept the percentages in the formula and was going to suggest using the IFS function instead, like ifs(B8=34%,B8=67%,"green") That way it uses ranges. PS, I like the way you format!
Is there a way I can create a progress bar like this if I want to use data from a drop down list? I have a drop down list of percentages in 5% increments to track my reading progress
Yes, of course! For the cell where you grab the % from, just insert dropdown. For the dropdown options, add numbers with the %. Decimal should work as well. Are you familiar with inserting dropdowns into cells?
When I tried this, even though I typed in "green", it's showing an orange bar. Any idea how to correct this? Also, when the progress % is at -100%, meaning that there is no progress, the bar is shown as a full bar. Im trying it for a "order vs achievement" sheet. Thank you in advance.
Thanks for watching! Could you paste the formula for your question about the color? You could try "winloss" for "charttype" but that will give you a column/vertical result.
=SPARKLINE(E5,{"charttype","bar";"max",100%;"min",-100%;"colour1","green";"empty" ,"zero"}) This is the formula I used. But the colour thats coming is orange.
@@GrowthLearner But more than the colour, the issue is that even though the achievement over target is 0%, the entire bar in the cell is shown as full, indicating a 100% achievement whereas its actually a -100% achievement. I dont know if im missing something in the formula. =SPARKLINE(E5,{"charttype","bar";"max",100%;"min",-100%;"colour1","green";"empty" ,"zero"}) This is the formula again for your reference.
Ah, I think I see what you mean now. When I changed the % value (E5) to -100%, it updated the bar as you described. However, the overall progress bar did update correctly by decreasing the % and the progress. I would suggest changing negative percentages to a different color like red. Or try the lambda function, stackoverflow.com/questions/63814666/google-sheets-sparkline-bar-graph-horizontal. I haven't used lambda functions much, myself.
Is there a way for the percentage to be displayed within the cell itself? That is, the progress bar AND percentage can be seen inside the cell I know that in EXCEL it can be done with CONDITIONAL FORMAT, but here in Google Sheets I don't know how to do it good video.!! 🤯🤯🤯🤯
Thanks for watching! It doesn't look like there's an easy way to do that. You can use a formula that displays characters with the REPT function and then add the % underneath. I'm guessing you're probably looking to overlay the % on top of the bar though.
@@GrowthLearner I found a video that explains it, but I think RUclips won't let me post the link. Search on RUclips for a video with this name: "Progress Bar With Percentage in Google Sheets" I would like to use progress bar, not characters, but I don't know how to do it It is a video that lasts 6:25 minutes (lean strategies.., the name of the channel)
Well, there's an option to use a "column" instead of "bar", but it's just a column chart that requires multiple values and multiple columns within the same cell in order to display differences. Is that what you're looking for? It's more for showing trends.

Is it possible that progress bar just like in your thumbnail?
Unfortunately, I don't think there's an easy way to do it if there is one. It was the image I found in the tool I used to design the thumbnail.
is there a way to also get the progress bar to show the "%" behind it?
Could you clarify what you mean by "behind" the progress bar? Do you mean overlay the percent on the progress bar?
Is there a way for the percentage to be displayed within the cell itself?
That is, the progress bar AND percentage can be seen inside the cell

How to do vertical progress bar ?
Well, there's an option to use a "column" instead of "bar", but it's just a column chart that requires multiple values and multiple columns within the same cell in order to display differences. Is that what you're looking for? It's more for showing trends.

try to use backslash instead of comma, worked for me
@@ZoltanSarkany123 also replace the first comma (the one after the range) with a semicolon.
That's odd. When I tried replacing the commas with backsplashes, I would always see an error. What does your function look like?
Whenever I tried replacing the first comma after the dataset with a semicolon, it would autocorrect to a comma. Did yours keep the semicolon?
