There's been a lot of new features added to the Beta recently, lets take a look at the colors for the top list. Here you can see I haven’t selected any colors, so let's make a really simple example. Let's say I want to know anything that’s up for the day for at least 50 cents, lets say green is a nice color. So 50 cents and above is green, and anything below that is white. This is the list of data that is available, it's the same data that is in these columns here. And you can see instantly that before I hit OK certain things have been highlighted. I'm going to hit OK just to look at this for a while, but it's not very exciting, what if I want to see stuff that’s up for the day or stuff that's down for the day? Well, let's say anything that's down by more than 50 cents, would be -50, let's set that to red. Again we want 50 cents or less but anything more let's set to white because that doesn’t seem so interesting. Add, ….wow, very quickly I can see; this was sorted to show you the highest volume on top but at the same time we are also highlighting certain prices. Let me make another window just so we can compare this to what I want to do next. Let's say something very simple. Lets say black would represent things that aren’t up or down for the day, but anything that's below zero is red, so if your negative for the day, your red and if your positive for the day, your green. That worked fast enough so, there is definitely a lot more items here. Basically this one was up a little bit, not enough and this one said anything that’s more than zero is that color. So it's only the things that are exactly zero that show up like this. What if I wanted something in between? What if I wanted to highlight stuff more that was way up for the day and less if it was not very far up for the day? Let's change this, lets make it all black for the center so anything that is near zero will be black. Lets say anything that’s up by a dollar is green and anything that’s down by at least a dollar is red. So what do we have here? We have this that's black to say that it's zero and this is basically black because it's up only by 2 cents and 2 cents isn’t that interesting. Here we have something that's kind of dark, it's up by 16 cents and it's dark but it's still green because it's up some. Here's a slightly brighter shade of green to say that this is up slightly more; and a slightly brighter shade of green to show that this is up even more; and then even a brighter shade to say that this is WAY up. Same this with the reds, this one is just a little bit down so you cant distinguish that from black, here its a little more down so it's 36 cents down, so it;'s kind of a dark red. Then a bright red to show that it's way up. Of course I could add even more, anything that's down by at least 2 dollars is pink, notice the equals sets the other two, that’s just the most common case, you could always go in and change one of these if you want to. So now, the thing that's way down is even more obvious because I added a special color. Lets do the same thing for the greens, lets say if you UP by at least 2 dollars or positive 2......and lets make it a bright green. Stuff really stands when it's up a lot, this is up 5 dollars, this one is only up one dollar. So the whole point is that I only picked these 5 colors and anything that's in between automatically gets a color that’s in between. So this 37 cents that’s between 0 and 1 and the color is between 0 and 1. this is a very powerful tool and it will help you see the data much more clearly and much more quickly.
