    Hi Chandoo,
    I am responsible for tracking when church reports are submitted on time or not and the variations from the due date for submission.
    Here is the Scenario;
    The due date for the submission of monthly reports is on the 5th of each month. and I would like to know how many reports have been submitted on time (i.e, those that have been submitted on or before the due date) I would also want to track those reports that have been submitted after the due date has passed.
    How can I create such a tracker?

    Hi Chandoo,
    I am a member of your excel school.
    I was trying to create SOP Tracker I follow all your steps but I keep this error below.

    The list source must be a delimited list, or a reference to a single row or cell.

    I try looking on YouTube for answer but no luck.

    can you help on this?

    thanks
    Carl.
