I feel very happy to share this with you. Our blog reader and excel ninja Fernando sent me this in e-mail.
Based on your last post about Project Management, I did a tool to track project status at my company. I’ve included some things differently than your suggestion, and even added a Tweetboard (which turned out to be a great success – thanks a lot for the idea! 🙂 ) on another tab, to resume information about project status. I loaded it with your sample data, to protect our personal info (compliance stuff), and translated it to English (although I’m not pretty sure everything is well-translated – feel free to correct). …
All the best from Brazil! 🙂
See the implementation of the project management dashboard along with the tweetboard below:

I have locked the file as the project dashboard is on sale. If you want an unlocked version of the dashboard template (and 23 other excel templates for better project management) click here. You can be rolling out a similar dashboard in a couple hours using the project management bundle.

Thanks so much for this, it's utterly brilliant!
Silly question - I assume LAMDA will work with dynamic arrays?
Very much so. Many of the new functions like MAP only make sense in the context of dynamic arrays and Lambda functions.
As usual, very informative material. Easy to understand and apply!
Thanks for making everyone awesome!
Easy to understand Lambda function through this tutorial. Thanks Chandoo.
I have Officce 365 (updated), but I can't see LAMBDA function. 🙁
I dont see "Office Insider" option in my excel 365.
Another option for First Monday...
=LAMBDA(anydate,WORKDAY.INTL(EOMONTH(anydate,-1),1,"0111111"))
Loving the binary options in WORKDAY.INTL David...
