Chart for Library Student Occupency Chart

I have study library of 70 seating capacity. All data is only in this sheet.

I want to create a chart in which I get libraray seat occupancy status by colour. Whenever seat is occupied then Green colour else Red colour. If a seat with Full shift, is displayed by large circle and if with Morning or Evening shift is displayed by small circle, and inside the circle seat number.

Status is automatically update when column J's date gone.

    I think you take my words in wrong way, I want chart as attached in screenshot same is update automatically when data update

     

  • How about this:

     

    1. Prepare Your Data
      • Ensure you have columns for seat number, status (occupied or vacant), shift type, and date (column J).
      • Convert your data into a structured table for easier updating.
    2. Use Conditional Formatting for Colors
      • Apply Green for occupied seats and Red for vacant seats using conditional formatting based on occupancy status.
      • You can do this by setting up rules in Excel’s Conditional Formatting section.
    3. Create a Scatter Plot for Visual Representation
      • Insert a scatter plot, using seat number as labels.
      • Adjust the point size dynamically based on shift type:
        • Large circles for Full shift.
        • Small circles for Morning or Evening shifts.
    4. Automatically Update Status
      • Use an IF formula to check whether the current date has passed column J’s date:
    =IF(TODAY()>J2, "Vacant", "Occupied")

     

      • This will ensure that occupancy status updates dynamically.
    1. Insert Data Labels
      • Enable data labels to display the seat number inside the circles.
