  • Hi there,

    I already downloaded it and tried. all table works very well.
    however, on the Pending task dashboard section where it suppose to display a minimum of 5 tasks and the name of the task, it doesn’t!

    It should be automatically filled whenever i put a task on table 1 right?

    Reply
    • Thanks.
      Are the due dates of the tasks in the past or future? If they are in the past, the dashboard should display. Please email me the file indzara@gmail.com. I will be glad to look into it. Thanks.

    • You can unlock the sheets using the password indzara. Then you can edit as needed. There would be multiple formulas that need to be modified depending on what change you are planning to make. Best wishes.
