How to sum up a number of values with widgets

Jared Ross

So I'm looking to create a widget that quickly shows me the number of times a value is represented. What I want to do is separate out a number of teams I have and see how many times each team has a "missing" value in it. I have rows broken down by team members. There's multiple columns, but their team name is one of them, and the status is another column which would be "missing" or "current". Basically, I want charts or summaries that give me a quick breakdown that shows me the number of "missing" from "team A" is 7. etc.

Hi @Jared Ross,

would you mind telling us a bit more about the structure (columns and their types) of the sheet you want the data to pull from?

Now I can only guess, the a combination of COUNTIF

in a Sheet Summary

could be the source for a Sheet Summary Report

that you can place on a dashboard.

Hope this helps

Hi @Jared Ross

Can you describe your process in more detail and maybe share the sheet(s)/copies of the sheet(s) or some screenshots? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help. (share too, andree@getdone.se)

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic weekend!

So the columns I'd be pulling from are "team" and "status".

I want the widget to tell me the number of times the status column has the value "Current" for any given team. Team names would be "team a", "team b", etc.

IE -

Team a - 3

Team b - 1

Team c - 0

Team d - 6

Try something like this. (You could add it to the Sheet Summary section if you have access. That makes it easier to add the the metrics to the widget)

=COUNTIFS(Team:Team; "Team Name"; Status:Status; "Status Option")

Did that work?
