How to clear a cell when a box is checked - using automation
Hello,
I have a reporting task list that shows days until due and days past due based on todays date. I also have a box that they can check once the task is completed. I am wanting the days past due and past until due column to clear once the box is checked. I tried doing this with an automation but it didnt work so i think I am doing it wrong.

If you have a column formula set in your date columns I don't think automation will overrule that.
You can add something like this to your date formulas
IF(Done@row = 1, "", remainder of formula...
This will clear the date if the done box is checked.
Hope this helps!

@ker9 yes perfect that worked! is there a way i can add in something that also crosses out the text in the rest of the row??

You could use conditional formatting to apply a strikethrough format to the row when the done box is checked.
