    Hi @Gaia Amaia,

    From your screenshots, it looks like these sheets were built using the β€œConstruction and Facilities Management” template set.Β 

    Having reviewed that template set and your screenshots, I can see that the main issue is that you’ll need to add the names of your managers in your β€œMOD2 - Main Roll-Up” sheet, in the Primary column under β€œResource Metrics”. You’ll only need the first name and last name, but these must match the name as it appears in the contact cell in the project sheets. So, where the contact displays as β€œGaia Amaia” in the project sheets, you can type in β€œGaia Amaia” into the cell in Primary7 - see an example below:

    Β

    The COUNTIFS formulas in the Totals column under β€œResource Metrics” reference the cells in the Primary column, so they need the exact names present here so that they β€œknow” what to look for in the project sheet ranges.Β 

    Currently, the formulas use a cell reference (eg β€œPrimary7”) to reference the cell in the Primary column in the same row, but you can change this to @row, since in this case we always want to look for the value in the same row. So you can change the formula to:

    • =COUNTIFS({PPM Project 1 Range 1}, Primary@row, {PPM Project 1 Range 2}, <>"Complete") + COUNTIFS({PPM Project 2 Range 1}, Primary@row, {PPM Project 2 Range 2}, <>"Complete")

    You’ll then be able to drag this down to all other cells under the β€œResource Metrics” heading. You can see this formula in my test sheet below:

    Take a look here for more information on @row: Create efficient formulas with @cell and @row.

    The final thing I spotted is that in your β€œMOD2 - Rack B4” sheet, the only row I can currently see a contact on is row 3, which has a status of β€œComplete”. The current formulas in the Roll Up sheet are looking for rows that match the name in the same row and have a status that is not equal to Complete. To ensure that row 3 would be counted, it would need to have a different status. Alternatively, you can edit the formula to look for all tasks assigned to each user, whichever status they have. If you’d like to do that, your formulas in the β€œResource Metrics” section of the roll-up sheet would look like this:

    • =COUNTIF({PPM Project 1 Range 1}, Primary@row) + COUNTIF({PPM Project 2 Range 1}, Primary@row)

    Hope that helps!
