Visualizing DXCC award progress often requires manual parsing of Logbook of the World (LoTW) reports, which can be time-consuming and prone to error. This web-based utility streamlines the process by allowing hams to upload their LoTW DXCC Credit Report spreadsheet, providing an interactive dashboard for tracking confirmed entities, bands, and modes. It processes .xlsx, .xls, and .csv files, performing all calculations client-side within the browser for privacy and speed. The tool presents a comprehensive stats overview, detailing total entities, confirmed slots, and overall completion percentage. It includes progress bars for bands from _160m_ through _2m_, and modes such as CW, Phone, and DIG. A sortable DXCC Entity Details Table lists each entity, its confirmed count, and specific missing band/mode slots, with a CSV export option. Further features include a Band/Mode Matrix grid for granular confirmed status per entity, toggles for specific bands like _6m_ and _2m_, and tracking for DXCC Challenge progress across 10 eligible HF/VHF bands. It also highlights nearly complete entities and identifies most-wanted DXCC entities based on the uploaded data.
