Discover I can create a progress tracker with animated image in Excel.
I will not be using an animated gif in cell, but use logical IF to shuffle the image. I will be using checkbox to replace traditional progress bar for project tracking and habit tracking. Did I day this can be used for habit tracking too?

Here are the steps as outlined on this video.

Enable Developer Ribbon
1) Right-click anywhere in the ribbon
2) Customized the Ribbon...
3) Check on Developer
4) OK

Add Checkboxes
1) Developer ~ Controls
2) Insert ~ Form Controls ~ Check Box
3) Right-click ~ Edit Text
4) Delete text
5) Right-click ~ Format Control
6) Cell Link A2
7) OK
8) Repeat steps 2 to 7 for all rows
9) Check all checkboxes
10) Change cell font to white.

I recently posted a video on how you can make an animated habit tracker using Google sheet like this.
But a few of my subscribers were requesting if I can do the same thing in Microsoft Office.
So... I just have to try it. And this is how you can do it.

After that, we're going to place a check on every check box and change the font colour of the cell to white.

Just note that your loader index boundary might be different than mine.

In the next part we will finish off this tips and tricks... stay tuned.
Calculations
1) Count completed task
=COUNTIF(B2:B21,TRUE)
2) Count incomplete task
=COUNTIF(B2:B21,FALSE)
3) Percentage completed
=B25/SUM(B25:B26)
4) Loader Index
=IF(B27=1,5,"")))))
Note these are my boundaries
=1

Image Repo
1) New Sheet
2) Enter 1 to 5 on rows A1 to A5
3) Adjust height of the row
4) Select B1
5) Insert ~ Pictures ~ This Device
6) Select picture
7) Insert
8) Repeat steps 4 to 7 to add the remaining pictures

Import Image
1) Ctrl+C on any picture
2) Go to main sheet
3) Change height of row 23
4) Select cell B23
5) Ctrl+V
Animation
1) Formulas ~ Define Name
2) Set Name to "GROW"
3) Refer to as
=XLOOKUP(186!$B$28,186_IMG!$A$1:$A$5,186_IMG!$B$1:$B$5)
=XLOOKUP(HabitTracker001_IMG!,HabitTracker001_IMG!$A$1:$A$5,HabitTracker001_IMG!$B$1:$B$5)
For older Microsoft Office
=INDEX(186_IMG!$B$1:$B$5, MATCH(186!$B$28,186_IMG!$A$1:$A$5,0))
In this formula:
Cells $B$1:$B$5 contain the plant image
Cell $B$28 is Loader Index value
Cells $A$1:$A$5 contains list of Loader Index
4) OK
5) Select plant image
6) Change address in the formula bar to =GROW
7) Enter

=XLOOKUP(186!$F$12,186_IMG!$A$1:$A$5,186_IMG!$B$1:$B$5)
For older Microsoft Office

00:07the same thing in Microsoft Excel so I just have to try and this is how you can
00:13do it the first thing you have to do is to add a checkbox here go to developer
00:17if you don't have a develop tab right click on a ribbon customize the ribbon
00:21and in here make sure that your developer is checked and click OK once
00:24that's done you go to control insert form control you're gonna put a check
00:28box here right about here just position it nicely right click text edit and
00:32press delete a few times to get rid of the text then right click again go to
00:36format control and then in here you're gonna link this to this cell here B2 and
00:41click OK after that once that's done you're gonna repeat the same thing for
00:44the rest of the tasks after that we're gonna place a check on every checkboxes
00:49and change the font color of the cell to white next we'll enter the formulas the
00:56first formula here is this and the second formula is this and the third formula is
01:02this and the loader index formula is this just note that your loader index
01:06boundary might be different than mine next we'll build a repository of image
01:10start a brand new sheet in here you're gonna type 1 2 3 4 5 which is actually a
01:15image loader here and change the size of this height that much and click on B1
01:19here and you go insert illustration picture this device and I'm gonna load
01:23this five pictures here to indicate growth starting with the very first one and

01:34adjust the height of row 23 and ctrl V on B23 here to paste the picture so
01:40we're gonna assign a name for this you're gonna go formula and you're gonna
01:43define names and define name let's give it a name called grow or something and
01:47over here you're gonna start typing a new formula called xlookup if you are
01:53using an older version of Excel you can use index as shown on the screen here and
01:57then the first argument would be the load index and then the second argument
02:02will be the image of the index number itself and the third argument would be
02:07the picture itself any close parentheses here and click on ok now we're gonna
02:12click on this picture here and you say equal grow like this and hit enter now
