Hello there,

I'm looking for some help please after scouring the Net and can't get my head round how to do it.

Basically children in my school are tasked with doing some reading each day and tick off in a grid each day that they have done some reading.
I input into a spreadsheet where they are on this grid each time they hand in their Reading Record. I have produced some reports that tell me in text where they are but I'm also trying to auto populate another report worksheet with "dots" showing the achievement status of each child. (there is an image in the uploaded file)

I hope this makes sense and someone can help me. I have a grasp of basic Excel formulae but no VBA.
If you need any more info please ask.

Thanks in advance
