Excel is a versatile tool that can be used for a variety of purposes, from organizing data to creating complex formulas. One useful feature that Excel offers is the ability to create rating systems for different items or criteria. A 5-star rating system is a simple yet effective way to rate items based on their quality or performance, and it can be easily created in Excel. In this tutorial, we will explore the steps involved in creating a 5-star rating system in Excel, which can be used for a wide range of applications such as evaluating products, services, or even employee performance.

Create 5 Star Rating
1) Select cell C2
2) Enter formula (formula in decription of this video)
3) More ~ Text Color
4) Select GOLD
5) Apply to all rows

Create 5 Heart Rating
1) Select cell C2
2) Change 9734 to 9825
3) Change 11088 to 129505
4) More ~ Text Color
5) Select RED
6) Apply to all rows

This is the formula for 5 stars
=LET(
FullStar,SWITCH(TRUE,
B2>=100,5,
B2>=80,4,
B2>=60,3,
B2>=40,2,
B2>=20,1,
B2=90,
3,B2>=70,
2,B2>=50,
1,B2>=30,
0,B2>=5,),
CHAR(9734),),
REPT(CHAR(11088),FullStar)&HalfStar)


This is the formula for 5 hearts
=LET(
FullStar,SWITCH(TRUE,
B2>=100,5,
B2>=80,4,
B2>=60,3,
B2>=40,2,
B2>=20,1,
B2=90,
3,B2>=70,
2,B2>=50,
1,B2>=30,
0,B2>=5,),
CHAR(9825),),
REPT(CHAR(129505),FullStar)&HalfStar)

00:00If you want to create a five star rating system using your column B as your entry point, this is
00:06how you do it. First, you're going to copy and paste this formula. You'll be in the description
00:10section of this video. Let me explain how this formula works. The first section is your boundary
00:15range for your full star, right? You can change these ranges or however many numbers you want
00:21based on your application. The second set of boundaries here pertains to the half star. So
00:27if you want to change the half star rating on this one here, you change the boundary
00:31accordingly. And then another thing you want to note is this is the ASCII number for my
00:37half star. I'm representing half star with a hollow star. And then for full star, this is
00:42the ASCII number here. Just wait towards the end. I'll show you where I got those ASCII numbers
00:46and how those characters are related. So once that's done, let's click and enter here. You
00:50can see that this one falls under four star category. And what I'm going to do is I'm
00:54going to make all the text in here yellow by doing this like that. So my half star, hollow
01:01stars can look yellow as well. So once the color changing of the text is done, I'm going
01:05to apply to every row. As you can see my half star, which is actually a hollow star is yellow
01:13as well. So this is how I do a star. What if you want to change this to a heart? For example,
01:19the way to do it would be to change the ASCII number. I'm going to use a hollow heart. And
01:25the ASCII number for hollow heart would be 9825. And the full heart would be 129505 and
01:35hit enter. You can see that it is showing heart now. So I'm going to change this from
01:41gold to say red, so that the hollow heart will come out as red as well. And once that's
01:45done, I'm going to apply to every row like this. As you can see, my hollow heart, which
01:49is represented as a half heart, is coming out as red as well. Just to show you that this
01:55actually works, let me increase this by one, or rather decrease this by one to show you
02:02the progression of the whole rating system. As you can see, after the first hundred, the
02:11first ten, next ten is actually half, followed by next ten, which is another four full heart,
02:17and followed by three and a half heart, and three heart. As for where I got the ASCII number,
02:23let me show you. You can get from this URL. I'll leave the link in the description again.
02:29So the hollow star is 9734, like I mentioned in the video. And the full star is 11088. And the
02:40half heart, which is the hollow heart, which I colored the text into red, is 9825. And the
02:45full heart is 129505. And of course, you can change to any of this different kind of icons
02:53or alternate code, they call it, to create your custom application.
