How can I display unique lines only on a dashboard with 2 attributes?

I have a dashboard/report where I want to show a list of our projects as long as the project name is unique, and the country is unique.

For example, in the attached image, I would want the lines highlighted in pink to not show, as they are duplicates of both project and country. I want it to ignore anything like flavour, or other attributes that I have in my data set.

I'm using this formula to count duplicates of the project, but it ends up hiding when that project is happening in multiple countries.

=IF(COUNTIF(Project$1:Project1, Project1) > 1, 1)

How can I get this to work without the Pivot app?

I would suggest using a checkbox column with something along the lines of this in it...

=IF(COUNTIFS([Project name]$1:[Project name]@row, [Project Name]@row, Country$1:Country@row, Country@row) = 1, 1)

What this does is counts how many times the project name and country in the current row are duplicated in the rows above it and including the current row. If that count is 1 meaning it is the first occurrence, it will check the box.

You can then pull all rows where the box is checked to get your unique entries as well as the first entry of each duplicates.

Showing "stacked" data / Statuses of items by swimlane
I have multiple items that each have their own statuses and that roll up to "workstreams" or swimlanes. On the dashboard, I would like to show the progress of the items by swimlane without breaking it out into separate widgets for each. This would ideally be a stacked bar where each bar represented the Items and was broken…
