Data bars in an Access query

Mike Alexander (Excel MVP) recently sent me a very cool trick that I hadn’t seen before. He uses some simple hackery and trickery to get data bars in a query. This is the first installment of a long series about how Access can be used to create cool dashboards.

  • I can see possibilites already... And such a simple thing to implement as well!

  • Fantastic video Mike! Thanks again for sharing this!

  • Very very cool and clever trick. Has anyone had any success with a variation of this technique in Form View or Datasheet View? Thanks

  • That is so very cool. I think it will come in very handy for some real basic graphic abilities which I hadn't thought of before. Great stuff Mike!

  • WAO, that is an excelent trick.

    I will implement this right away. . .
