Need A Dash Board

[anandakuttan]

Dear Friends,

I am enclosing my dash board template. I want the data to be populated from the Actual and Budget data sheets when I choose the store name from the Dropbox list.
Prefer to have it from a Pivot table link to the Dash Board. No idea how to link as there are three criteria to link - Store Name, Year and Actual / Budget

Thank you in advance

Hi,


Hopefully this will start you off....

I changed the dropdown box to one in the actual cell using data validation and referring to a Stores List on a separate sheet (That sheet can be hidden if needed).

I added the month column headers above relevant columns for lookup purposes, you can either hide them with the font colour or change the cell references in the formulas as you copy it across the table, try to avoid the merged cells if you can.


Put this in B8 on the dashboard sheet, and then copy and paste it into the appropriate sections for 'Actual' ......

Then for Budget, the sheet and cell refs just need to be changed, like this...

Start this one in E8 and then copy it to the relevant sections for 'Budget'......

As long as each column you are pasting into has the column header for month in row 5, the copy pasting of these should work for the whole sheet, either that or modify the appropriate cell refs in the formula for each month.

I think this is what you mean kind of?

I re-attached your workbook with some of this in place.

Your post does not comply with Rule 1 of our Forum RULES. Your post title should accurately and concisely describe your problem, not your anticipated solution.

Use terms appropriate to a Google search. Poor thread titles, like Please Help, Urgent, Need Help, Formula Problem, Code Problem, and Need Advice will be addressed according to the OP's experience in the forum: If you have less than 10 posts, expect (and respond to) a request to change your thread title. If you have 10 or more posts, expect your post to be locked, so you can start a new thread with an appropriate title.

To change a Title go to your first post, click EDIT then Go Advanced and change your title, if 2 days have passed ask a moderator to do it for you.

Want to get your question answered quickly?

• Ensure your question is not too vague. Don't assume anyone is familiar with your problem. While you can upload small attachments, describe your problem in the body of the post. We are fortunate to have several Excel gurus, but few mind-readers.
• On the other hand, skip irrelevant details. Be descriptive and concise. Short, direct, and to-the-point questions with apt thread titles are almost always answered promptly.
• Keep the scope reasonably narrow. Questions like, "How do I set up an accounting system in Excel?" might be a long time waiting.
• Explain what you've already tried. ("Calculation is set to automatic, but formulas still don't compute") so helpers don't waste your time or theirs.
• Post a WORKBOOK. Nobody wants to type data from a picture or paste text from your post into a spreadsheet as a prelude to helping. To attach a file, push the button with the paperclip (or scroll down to the Manage Attachments button), browse to the required file, and then push the Upload button.
• If your question has not been answered within a day, consider adding another post with any additional information you believe is relevant. If you think your post is good as is, just reply to your own thread with the words "Bump no response", which will bring it to the top of the forum.

Read post #3 directly under D. Lovell's post. I am not going to post the details again for you.

Essentially, your title is not satisfactory - you must change it.
