Help Categorizing Data for Grant Report

plasseigne

Hello- I'm a novice when it comes to Smartsheets and I'm looking for some assistance.

I'm managing a grant, and one of the goals of the grant is to ensure we are hitting benchmarks in serving underserved communities. I have a sheet with all the demographic information of the participants, but I need the ability to have several columns broken down into a percentage to determine we're meeting this threshold.

For example, if column a is a woman OR column b is a person of color Or if column c lives in a rural or urban community, then this would equal someone from an underserved community.

Does this make sense, and can someone help me figure out how to compute this data?

Thanks!

I would suggest a helper column on the sheet with a formula to output a one (for underserved) or a zero. Then the average will be the percentage of rows that are referring to an underserved person.

=IF(OR([Column A]@row = "Woman", [Column B]@row = "Person of Color", [Column C]@row = "Rural", [Column C]@row = "Urban"), 1, 0)
