After nearly 2 months - thank you all for being so incredibly patient, nearly ripping my hair out, discovering that Bing Maps really hates the UK, and feeling like I was going to lose my marbles - the dashboard is finally done.

Click link for access. Everything is activated by the slicers at the top of the page above the charts. Just remember to unfilter if you want to switch between them - I did go back and add the most recent names in the end - because I am a masochist a completist.

Dear God let it work or I may actually cry.

Ugh just opened it from link and it looks awful! If you have Excel it's best to save it and open it with excel NOT google sheets - as google sheets won't display it properly - it is best viewed at about 60% zoom level.

@PorridgeShotgun that must be wrong because your boys list isn’t just ‘Arlo’ 😂 I’m not kidding, when I do a postnatal clinic there is a 50/50 chance that when I ask if a baby boy has a name yet, it will be Arlo. I get several in each clinic!

Thank you so much @PorridgeShotgun !!!! Will look at this later, haven't clicked link yet but been keeping an eye on this thread and your findings ❤️

@RowboatsinDisguise - Are you in the West Midlands or Cornwall by any chance?

I've also added a UK map of names and table into the drive - couldn't get it to link into the main dashboard- and oh dear god apparently if you don't have Office 365 the maps won't show - PorridgeShotgun flips table over at least 2 weeks of my life lost to trying to get the maps to work and it probably won't show for everyone - arrrrrghhghghgh!

So take my word for it the maps were beautiful - I have included a table for the UK ones though so you can have a look at popular areas.

Sorry everyone if the dashboard is a bit disappointing - that will teach me not to allow for vagaries of Microsoft Excel versions.
