Creating Text Histogram

Text Histogram : 

Text Histogram can be created with the help of IF and REPT function .
 Example shown in below print shot :


In Example , we calculated Balance of Trade (column D) by subtracted column C from column B, which comes some positive value as well as some negative values. Column F, G and H are outlined as text histogram. So, Column F is for negative values. Column G for Years and Column H for positive values.

Column F formula : =IF(D2<0,REPT("n",-D2),"")
Column G formula : =A2
Column H formula : =IF(D2>0,REPT("n",D2),"")

In Column F and H, we are repeating text  "n" equal to the values in Column D. Difference in both column formula is just comes with negative sign as column F is for negative value and for text "n" repeating times we need to convert it as positive.

Thank you !!
