Recommendations on Dashboards, counting, and generating reports

Hey,

I have this sheet and we use it to store all the programs we have.

Some programs are confirmed/tentative/likely/unavailable
they are also located in different regions
There are also different types of programs

I am able to go in and write if statement and countifs but is there a better way to be producing this information. I end up with too many columns for every condition I need to count.

Any recommendations on how I can count and present my data?

I also saw that in dashboard when I went into the metric widget, the smart sheet has a "Sheet Summary Data" How do I make more conditions that it counts?

Thank you for all you help

Hi @Sophia

I'd recommend creating a so-called Master Metric Sheet where you collect all the metrics as needed with cell-linking and Cross-sheet formulas. You can also combine it with the Sheet Summary section if that makes sense for what you need.

Make sense?

Would that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic weekend!
