Help with how to sort data, summary, report, formula?? Not sure

I would like to filter, sort, and/or summarize (not sure which option) to see who has check marks in three or less of these columns.

    Would recommend doing a helper column with a count if any of those row are checked, then doing the filter off, is less than or equal to 3.

    =COUNTIF([Left most column name]@row:[Right most check box column name]@row,1)

    This will sum all of the checked fields into a single digit.

    One option would be to add a "helper" column. (It could be hidden)

    Use: =IF(SUM([Teaching Methods 52]@row:[Reflections on your Instructional Practices]@row) => 3, 1, 0)

    Make that a column formula and format as a checkbox. (I'm kind of guessing at that last column name)


    You will then be able to add a filter to only display rows where the helper column is checked.
