Ships and flags

Sorry, this post was written in a hurry, I couldn't come up with a better title.

Two things:

ShipTrack Update

An update to ShipTrack is now available. 4.1.3 fixes yet another FedEx issue. Please download and let me know how it works. Needless to say I'll be working on another way to track FedEx shipments.

Download ShipTrack


Flag Chart

In Introducing Flag Project – A fun way to Learn Excel Charting, Chandoo asks if we can use charting techniques to create flags. So I went and did up the American flag:

It's not perfect — the even rows of stars are not aligned properly, and the chart would have to be much bigger for the stars themselves to be proportioned properly. But I think it gets the message across.

Download the chart workbook

Update 3/9/2010: Daniel Ferry over at Excel Hero posted his version of the U.S. flag.
