Using ISBLANK with a checkbox cell

Galadriel975

I'm trying to create a formula for my sheet that is counting a total number of items in the sheet within certain parameters, I've gotten the formula down for most of them but where I've run into issues is that my final formula either needs to be based on a column that is a checkbox OR if another column is NOT blank.

The formula I have so far is:

=COUNTIF({PoD}, ISBOOLEAN(@cell)) or =COUNTIF({PoD}, ISBLANK(@cell))

if I use the first formula it counts all the orders on the sheet, because its not checking if the box is checked or not. The second doesn't work because the column is a checkbox.

The ISBLANK should work, but generally I use slightly different syntax to say "is checked" or "Is not checked".

Is checked

@cell = 1

Is not checked

@cell <> 1

=COUNTIFS({Range}, @cell = 1)

=COUNTIFS({Range}, @cell <> 1)
