Hi Everyone,

Thank you in advance for whatever help you may be able to provide.


Purpose/Scope

Analyzing the effectiveness of retail store renovations and relocations.


Existing Material

I have many slices or views, but let's assume there is only one.

The back-end looks like this. Please note that empty cells will still have a formula in them as they are being populated from a data dump.

The front-end looks like this and is populated with an 'Averageifs' formula, simplified example is below. "CompStores" is a named data range.

=IFERROR(AVERAGEIFS(CompStores[Growth Year 2],CompStores[Action],$A1),"")

Just for clarity, the counting table (if needed) would look like this. Hopefully this project will not need a counting table, especially considering switching "averageifs" to "countifs" cannot easily be done by a search+replace because countifs has less arguments.

The Task


  • Highlight each cell in the front-end based on how many observations there are with the purpose of knowing how confident we are in that growth %.
  • The counting system I would like to use in real life is under 5 observations = red, 5 to 9 = yellow, 10 or above = green.


Please help me, I really don't want to have to do this by hand lol. Thanks to anyone who even attempts to help!!!
