Display Total Sum of each task status

Hello, other than creating a filter view, is there a way to display an active count of each status, for all tasks in a sheet?

e.g. I have 20 tasks with a status of "Open", 15 tasks with a status of "In Progress", and 22 tasks with a status of "Resolved". Without filtering by each status type I'd like to see somewhere, the sum of each status.


Thanks

    Hi@Jason McKenzie

    There is an update coming to Reports soon that might be helpful, so you might be able to use that. (late October)

    Another option would create a metrics section, us the sheet summary fields, or collect the metrics in a so-called Master Metrics sheet.

    Would any of those options work/help?

    I hope that helps!

    Be safe and have a fantastic week!
