I'm working on setting up a work order tracking system for a small shop. I was able to get to the point where an order is scanned and then the location is scanned and that data is inputted into a table (the two-column table on the right side of the sheet). I also have another table set up that is a better visual measure of progress. If order THD0001 is at the WELD2 station, for example, the cell at the intersection of the THD0001 row and the WELD2 column fills green. Right now, when the order moves along to the next step, it blanks the previous cell and fills in the cell of the new location. Is there a way I can make it so that the previous cell fills in black so that we could see which orders required which steps? In other words, if the order goes from WELD2 to ASSEMBLY, the cell for WELD2 is filled black.
I am also wondering if there is a way that when an order is scanned as complete, the date and/or time of that scan shows in the COMPLETE column, but this is less important to the system function.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!
