Ajaxifying Sharepoint 2010

Just a quick note on how to ajaxify Sharepoint 2010:- 1. Download the code files from http://ajaxifymoss.codeplex.com/ 2.

Now in case you want to just check the trends of your expenditure using databars, create another column or insert a column called trend and then click on conditional formatting on the Home Ribbon (Keeping the Trend Column Selected) and choose the Databar along with the required color formatting --> the image is as shown below: 3. Next Step Ensure that for every cell in the Trend column you point it to the respective cost which in my case are the values present in the B column s
