Excel help!

Guys i'm trying to work on a presentation and need some help!

Refer to below screenshot

Question 1 - In Cell D4, I need to add a trend icon (conditional formatting, icon sets, directional) to show the trend direction of the 3 numbers. How can I do this?

Question 2 - I have table 2 as the raw data, and in table 1, i need to look up the value for "single & march" and drop it into the cell B12 and "triple and March" into B13 etc. for all the remaining cell. How can I do this?

Question1:

Question2: vlookup

Not sure if those would work, but that's my guess at it.

Question 1 - any help here?

Question 2 - Vlookup + Match, i will try it out. Vlookup itself will not work as it needs to look up 2 variables.

The video is not what i'm looking for though. Maybe wrong link?

Basically, I want to use the directional arrows to say

1.6 1.5 1.3 - it's trending down and show an arrow.

1.5 1.4 1.6 - staying the same, and show the steady arrow.

hope i'm explaining this ok.

Yeah I don't think I understood the question the first time around.

This should be what you're looking for. Though, it's a graph not an arrow.

Alternatively, you could take the difference of the numbers, they're within you're steady parameters you conditional formatting to have a even sign. If it's negative outside your parameters, down arrow. If positive outside your parameters, up arrow.

You could also use numerical differentiation to find the change in slope of the data points. the resulting number would give you a positive number, trending up. Negative number trending down. or approximately zero, steady.
