    Re: Help to make better spreadsheet

    i think you need to provide more info , mainly about what you want to measure on the dashboard
    layout of the data can impact the ease with which multiple dashboard items can be created

    We don't know what business you are in, or what KPI's are important to you to see and measure, not any goals/targets or thresholds

    Re: Help to make better spreadsheet

    Its hospital staff who need to wear masks. The first 4 masks are the only ones we have in stock. So we need to test everyone to wear one if the first 4 masks. The orhers are kind of refdundant for now. I need to produce reports on how many have been tested snd passed on each mask. How many have still to be tested.

    The first 4 masks are in order of size to fit the face. Largest to smallest.

    Re: Help to make better spreadsheet

    not sure where the 1st 4 masks are - quite a lot of data on the sheet , can you
    How do you know if they have passed , can you give details


    Perhaps change the names and use that or row
    I have changed First names to ABC-1 through to ABC-7
    in column BI - I see a PASS also for A7

    I have added a countif() in cell FT
    to count Pass in any of the cells
    And the only person without a pass is ABC-4

    We could introduce named ranges perhaps - or change the range to only include certain masks

    But I really dont understand the spreadsheet, and content

    I thought as you want to see the number of people who have passed , then this summary at the end of the data , may help produce a report
