You can also plot 2 or more Y axes in Excel using EZplot or Multy_Y from Office Expander.com
There is a demo version to try.
Cheers.
Hi Chandoo,
Fantastic Challenge. Thank You ??
My answer to Q.2 is 48 . . NOT 49.
A.1)
LET(emp, ISNUMBER(XMATCH(trainings[EMP ID], staff[EMP ID])),
trng, ISNUMBER(XMATCH(trainings[COURSE ID], {“CM101″,”CC101″,”EAT101”})),
comp, trainings[PASS/FAIL] = “Pass”,
a, GROUPBY(trainings[EMP ID], emp * trng * comp, SUM, , 0, , emp),
result, SUM(–(CHOOSECOLS(a, 2) = 3)),
result)
A.2)
LET(emp, ISNUMBER(XMATCH(trainings[EMP ID], staff[EMP ID])),
trng, ISNUMBER(XMATCH(trainings[COURSE ID], {“CM101″,”CC101″,”EAT101”})),
comp, trainings[PASS/FAIL] = “Pass”,
a, GROUPBY(trainings[EMP ID], emp * trng * comp, SUM, , 0, , emp),
result, SUM(–(CHOOSECOLS(a, 2) >= 1)),
result)
A.3)
SUM(–(NOT(ISNUMBER(XMATCH(staff[EMP ID], trainings[EMP ID])))))
Best Wishes!
