&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;m using MOSS 2007. I have to create a dashboard page which pulls data from a custom list. Below is my custom list and dashboard format. Tasks under each category should be displayed in coloured balls in the specified &amp;nbsp;month.(New -&amp;gt; green ball, In Progress -&amp;gt; Yellow ball, Completed-&amp;gt; Red ball). I have to show the dashboard for the whole year even though there are no tasks for some months.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For example,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If i have four categories(cat1, cat2, cat3, cat 4) and there are many tasks under each category. Each task has a start date and an end date. Now in my dashboard, i need to have the first column as categories and the months say, October, November, December as the other columns. Tasks under each category should be displayed in coloured balls in the specified &amp;nbsp;month according to their status(New -&amp;gt; green ball, In Progress -&amp;gt; Yellow ball, Completed-&amp;gt; Red ball).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Please let me know if this is possible. Kindly help. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Rose&lt;/p&gt;
