Last week, I received an email from Francis, with the following message.

Hi Channdoo,

I have spend 2 days over the weekend and learn as much as I could and came up with a dashboard for my company Sales and Marketing Meeting !..

Without you, this is not Possible !!!

Thanks so much !!! The more I learn, the more I know what I dont know !!!

Readers like Francis inspire me most. Despite doing all the work himself, he showed extreme kindness in emailing and making me happy.

Naturally, I replied to him and asked “if he can share original excel file with dummy data so rest of our readers can learn from what he produced.”

Francis agreed for this and shared a version of dashboard with me.

    Maybe I missed it, but this method doesn't include data from James that isn't contained in Sara's data.

    I added a new sheet, and named the ranges for Sara and James.

    Maybe something like:
    B2: =SORT(UNIQUE(VSTACK(SaraCust, JamesCust)))
    C2: =XLOOKUP(B2#,SaraCust,SaraPaid,"Missing")
    D2: =XLOOKUP(B2#,JamesCust, JamesPaid,"Missing")
    E2: =IF(ISERROR(C2#+D2#),"Missing",IF(C2#=D2#,"Yes","No"))

    Then we can still do similar conditional formatting. But this will pull in data missing from Sara's sheet as well.
