    Unhappy Calendar-based visual dashboard from project progress data

    Dear all, I once had a much more complicated problem and someone on this forum solved it within hours so I thought I would give it another try.

    [Note that the details of my problem and objective are included in the attached worksheet.]

    We have a small team of members. Each member is assigned "projects" comprising a number of "milestones" (start, milestone1, milestone2,..., end). Each milestone has an expected completion date. Upon completion of a milestone, members would input it in an excel table (ideally through a form since not all members are computer savy).

    The "data" are therefore composed of various "projects", "milestones" (for each projects), "expected dates", "actual completion dates", and other project-specific fields.

    The goal: to use these data to produce a calendar-based visual dashboard presenting the "degree of completion" of each project using common colour codes (green, orange, red).

    I have some knowledge of VBA but I am self-taught, so definitely not an expert. I have started working on this problem but it proves surprisingly difficult given my skills set.

    One of the main problem I face is to make my code flexible enough to accomodate addition and deletion of projects.

    We have a very small budget but if this proves too complicated, even for the experts on this forum, we would be willing to consider paying for a job well done.

    Many, many thanks in advance to anyone outthere willing to help us!!!

    Bumping again... Starting to wonder if my objective might be too ambitious.

    Bump. Can someone please let me know what's wrong with my post? Too complicated? Not interesting for users on this forum? etc.
    Many thanks.

    Talking Mostly solved with array formula. Need help to convert to more efficient and readable VBA.

    Hi all, I think I have done almost everything that I set out to do (see attached WB with code).

    However, most of the heavy computation is done through Array Formulae with the result that the program runs very slowly and that the formulae are so long that they are almost unreadable and hence difficult to fix/modify.

    Without a doubt, all of what I've done could be done through VBA but I simply don't have the skill set to do it myself.

    Would someone be kind enough to take a look at the attached and provide some feedback?

    Many, many thanks to all.

    PS: some formulae use circular references. Need to allow iterative evaluation in Options for the code to work.

    Olivier
