Generating table with icons in place of numbers

This is my first post so apologies if I have posted in the wrong area or made mistakes regarding best practice when posting questions. I have data which looks something like this:Data formatData format

 

And I am hoping to get a chart or matrix table which has the specific number of coloured icons in place of the number. Preferably something like the picture below, which gives a great "big picture" view of the projects being completed across three different dimensions without looking unneccesarily messy. I have found timeline visuals which look good but can't seem to replace the time axis with a stage axis.

 Any help in getting the above visual or even potential workarounds is appreciated.

 

Regards,

Steven

Thanks for the response @lbendlin.

Here is a table of what the data might look like:

Project 3Team 1Type 3Stage 3

Project 15Team 2Type 2Stage 1
Project 16Team 3Type 2Stage 1
Project 17Team 4Type 2Stage 1

 

And here is an updated picture of what the desired outcome would look like based on this sample data above:

A table with coloured icons in place of numbers, where each icon represents a project, and colour to represent the type. I'm also open to any alternative suggestions for conveying this executive summary of the projects in such a simple concise way.

 

Hope this is more helpful.

Is this good enough?
