Summary across sheets

MRod

I have two work plans with folks assigned to tasks and want to be able to see how many tasks on each sheet the person has assigned to them. For example (not in terms of formatting)

Person A: Sheet X=# | Sheet Y =#

Person B: Sheet X=# | Sheet Y =#

I have a report grouped by person that has both sheets feeding into it but the summarize option only counts the total number of tasks in the report by person (e.g., Person A: Sheet X&Y=#). In order to see the breakdown by person and sheet, would I use the summary feature in the sheets, create a separate sheet with count if's of some sort, do something different with my report grouping, or something else? I am lost in all the options and which one will do what I need.

TIA!

Hi @MRod

Have you tried adding task as a secondary group?

Could you please share a screenshot? I'd be delighted to assist you.

Hi @MRod

I hope you're well and safe!

Khasim is correct. Another grouping by the Sheet Name should work.

Did that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!

Yes, thank you! I knew the answer was simpler than I thought. Now that I am able to see the breakdown, I am trying to figure out how to make it a little easier to read. Is there a way to change the formatting in the report without it changing in the sheet? Alternatively, can I use the counts and groupings in that report to create a chart for a dashboard? Below is a screenshot of how the report looks with the detail rows collapsed.
