Formula to calculate a date based off of Checkbox?

Karen K.

I am looking for a formula that will auto populate a column with a date once the "Checkbox" has been clicked in a different column. I also need the populated date to be the date the checkbox was clicked PLUS 2 days. Thanks!

Hi @Karen K.

I hope you're well and safe!

You can use a Workflow combined with the Record a date Action and add a so-called helper column to add two days and reference it in the main column.

Make sense?

Would that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

Thank you!! It worked perfect! I also set up a second automation for when the box is unchecked.
