Generate an overall Pass or Fail result based on a total score calculated within a table. It is useful when responses are assigned numerical values and the final outcome depends on whether the total score meets a defined threshold. This applies to both Default and Prefilled tables in Dashpivot Web templates and is designed for template editors configuring score-based formulas.

Prerequisites

Before you begin make sure you have the following:

  • Plan: Standard (or higher)

  • Permission: Org Controller (Home Folder) or Org Controller, Project Controller, Team Controller (Team Folder)

  • Skills Required: Dashpivot, Basic excel formula skills

  • Device Type: computer

  • Subscription: Dashpivot Web

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Open the template in Dashpivot Web.

  2. Navigate to the table where scoring is configured.

  3. Ensure each row contributes a numerical score (for example, through a scoring column or formula).

  4. Decide where the overall Pass or Fail result will be displayed (either in the table footer or in a separate table cell).

  5. Enter a formula to calculate the total score using the SUM function.


Default Table – Overall Pass/Fail Based on Score

If you are using a Default table (where rows can be added dynamically):

  1. In a separate table or result cell, reference the scoring column using a table reference.

  2. Use a SUM formula to total the scoring column. For example:

    =SUM(Table1!B:B)
  3. Wrap the SUM formula inside an IF statement to return Pass or Fail based on your required threshold. For example:

    =IF(SUM(Table1!B:B)>=20, "Pass", "Fail")
  4. Adjust the score column reference and minimum threshold value to match your requirements.


Prefilled Table – Overall Pass/Fail Based on Score

If you are using a Prefilled table (where the questions and number of rows are fixed):

  1. In the bottom row of the scoring column (or another suitable result cell), calculate the total score. For example:

    =SUM(B1:B5)
  2. Use an IF formula to return Pass or Fail based on your required threshold. For example:

    =IF(SUM(B1:B5)>=20, "Pass", "Fail")
  3. Adjust the score range and threshold value to match your scoring requirements.

  4. Save the template.
