  8. At this point you can delete the C Chart, NP Chart, U Chart and Run Chart tabs, as they are no longer needed.
  9. You can rearrange the charts on the dashboard by clicking and dragging them around.
  10. You can then continue to add data to the data sheet and update charts by clicking the "Refresh Charts," "Refresh Charts w Stability," or "Refresh Charts w Rules" buttons on the data sheet. Refresh with Stability will run QI Macros stability analysis on all control charts. Refresh Charts with Rules will run QI Macros stability analysis on all control charts and show specific rules violated.
  11. If you save this workbook as an Excel "Shared" workbook, you could have multiple people updating various measurements. Just refresh the charts every so often. Anyone can then look at the dashboard.

I think you'll find this a very powerful feature of QI Macros. Creating dashboards of key measures quickly and easily. And keeping them up-to-date with a click of a button.

NOTE: The Show Process Change and Fix Control Limits tools are functional in the np, p and u Dashboards, starting with the April 2021 release. However, these tools are not functional in previous QI Macros releases.
