    Coding for a Summary page? Out of my depth

    Good day Excel mates,

    I had a job flow down to me for data analysis to catch degrading products. I have about 9 pages of data to be collected, but I'd like to setup a "Summary" style page to consolidate the information and tell me what's degraded. I'm not the most creative so coming up with a solution has been challenging as well as learning how to summarize all this data. My idea was to try and create a Red, Yellow, Green type page to display what specific sections of data are showing degraded or may be completely depleted.

    Someone mentioned to me that they worked with a company that had a product (doubt it was Excel based) that was able to click a button for an overarching department, then it would display what area is degrading, click that and would be more specific as to where the degradation was focused. Is this a thing that is possible? I don't know coding, mostly just basic to intermediate excel functions and formulae. Any direction or ideas would be greatly appreciated or if anymore information is required. Thanks in advance!

    What your 'someone' may have been referring to is a product like Tableau, but Microsoft has Power BI, which you can get using your company's MS account. Power BI is a powerful dashboarding tool and works well with Excel and Power Query.
