Effect on your data and undo
Progress Ring does not change your source data; the result is added as a separate item. It refreshes automatically when the linked cells change. You can reverse it at any time with Undo Last.
How it differs from similar tools
Unlike a static picture you paste in by hand, it stays bound to your data and redraws itself whenever the source cells change.
