What formula would auto input a number into a cell if the checkbox beside it is checked?

joshspr

Instead of having to manually input $2200, can I input a formula that when a check box is checked it automatically inputs the $2200 value?

Dale Murphy

@joshspr Have you tried =IF([VS]@row = true, 2200,0) ?

Hi @joshspr

I hope you're well and safe!

To add to Dale's excellent advice/answer.

• Another option could be to use a Workflow combined with the Change Cell Action.

Would that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

Best,

@Dale Murphy It comes up as #unparseable

Dale Murphy

@joshspr Can you show me/us the full formula you input?

(I agree with Andree; a workflow would be effective too, and a bit more flexible)

@Dale Murphy - I'm not really sure what a workflow is.. I'm pretty new to all this. haha

joshspr

I found the workflow and inputted the in

formation but it isn't working.

joshspr

ahah! I got it, thanks for the help.

@Dale Murphy - here's another question though. With seperating cost savings by quarter, what formula could I input to only pull the dates for Q1 (Jan-March)?

@joshspr You need to replace the VS I used as a placeholder with the full name of your column.
