Want to see your spreadsheet data come to life inside your diagrams? This video demonstrates how to use conditional formatting to pull values directly from linked data and display them as clear, actionable badges on your shapes.
What you’ll learn:
- Data connectivity: The basics of connecting external spreadsheet data to your Lucidchart process map.
- Smart visibility: Setting up rules that only trigger when specific data (like a "cost" value) is present, keeping your diagram clean.
- Text badging: Automatically generating icons that display numerical values directly on a shape.
- Custom hover text: Using formulas to create "tooltips" that reveal deeper data or larger values when you hover over a shape.
⚙️ A note on the UI
Since this video was filmed around 2024, some menus and icons may have a different look in the current Lucid interface. However, the data-linking workflow and formula logic remain the same.
