    Hi

    Thanks for all the help, however I managed to find a way to match my picture.

     

    For those who may have a similar issue, this is how I did it:

    1. Download the Advance card from the store
    2. Create a compiled "If" formula in the pivot table to convert the stage wording into numbers i.e. =if(project status = "Feasibility",1,if(......... I named this new field "Project Status Number"
    3. Create an advanced card for each stage and shape it with the show stroke formater
    4. Add project stage number to the condition field only
    5. Colour all 4 backgrounds grey
    6. Set the 1st card to represent the first stage, condition format to: "No. of Conditions" = 1; "If value is" "=", "Value" = "1" then background is pink
    7. Repeat 6 for the other project stages
    8. Then, as you cant wordwrap in the cards, I overlayed a text box with the names of the stages.

    Then just organise it how you like. This was how it turned out

     

    Thanks
