I am reading through your issue

It will be great if you can attach your sheet here
Excelchat Expert
05/10/2018 - 10:33
Because if I access the Google Sheet online, it will give you my email ID which is against the ExcelChat policy
User

I will download the file and check it
Excelchat Expert
05/10/2018 - 10:35
I got the file
Excelchat Expert

Can you please elaborate on your issue ?

OK, so each of the tabs with a number is a project that we have ongoing, I need to add a summary page listing out the most critical tasks and when they are due
Excelchat Expert
05/10/2018 - 10:37
I am on the "Engineering Tasks Summary Sheet"
Excelchat Expert
05/10/2018 - 10:38
Okay
Excelchat Expert
05/10/2018 - 10:39
So, Can I take the freedom to create a new summary sheet from the scratch?
User
05/10/2018 - 10:39
OK, so if you look at the subsection column i this will detail the type of task
User
05/10/2018 - 10:39
yes you can
User
05/10/2018 - 10:40
I basically want the top 10 items for panels / engineering / graphics / PM to be added to each of the section of the summary page based on the due date
Excelchat Expert
05/10/2018 - 10:40
Got it
Excelchat Expert
05/10/2018 - 10:40
Just a couple of questions
User
05/10/2018 - 10:41
fire away
Excelchat Expert
05/10/2018 - 10:41
When you say based on due date, do you mean the latest ones should be on top?
Excelchat Expert
05/10/2018 - 10:41
Secondly, I see that in the project summary that has already been created there is no column which can be used to identify the project name. Do you need such column?
User
05/10/2018 - 10:42
if that can happen then yes, I dont think that the project sheets work that way at the moment, all they have is start date and end date
User
05/10/2018 - 10:42
project name is job name, they are the same thing
Excelchat Expert
05/10/2018 - 10:42
Got it
User
05/10/2018 - 10:43
it can be re-named project name :-)
Excelchat Expert
05/10/2018 - 10:43
I will start to work on it. Please give me some time before I finish it
User
05/10/2018 - 10:43
Ok no worries
Excelchat Expert
05/10/2018 - 10:43
I will constantly keep updating you and if because of some network issues you are not able to connect to the portal you will get your file after I have completed.
User
05/10/2018 - 10:44
ok that fine
Excelchat Expert
05/10/2018 - 10:44
Also, you can extend the timer twice. It will prompt for it when it reaches around 2 minutes
User
05/10/2018 - 10:44
OK
Excelchat Expert
05/10/2018 - 10:45
Just one another question
User
05/10/2018 - 10:45
yes
Excelchat Expert
05/10/2018 - 10:45
For eg. in the Sheet Cabot Square, there are more than 10 tasks, How would you want the top 10 to be picked
Excelchat Expert
05/10/2018 - 10:46
Based on status?
Excelchat Expert
05/10/2018 - 10:46
Or Date?
User
05/10/2018 - 10:46
Status
Excelchat Expert
05/10/2018 - 10:47
So the "Not Completed" will be priority
Excelchat Expert
05/10/2018 - 10:47
Am I right?
User
05/10/2018 - 10:47
Anything "in progress" and then "not started"
Excelchat Expert
05/10/2018 - 10:47

User
