How to insert an equation to create dashboard?

How to deal with following situation?
1. If the Efficiency is given by following equation, how to get it to the dashboard?

Efficiency = Ideal Time / Actual Production Hours

Ideal time = ideal time of all the processors

2. If we want to get sum of ideal times of 2 processors or multiple processors to the dashboard, how to get that. How to get a sum?

Dashboard charts display the data stored in either Statistics Collectors or Calculated Tables. To display the your efficiency stat, you need to calculate/store it in either of these two options.

Attached is a simple example model. The process time for each item is written as a label to the items. This label is then used by the processors to determine the process time. Once a process finish, the item is also added to a global table cell that keeps track of the total processing time of the processors. (You can get this value in other ways but this should hopefully be easy to follow).

A Calculated Table then uses the data from that table to calculate an efficiency value by dividing the total processing time by the model time.
