Formula when a column has a checkbox

Gina Prego

I cannot seem to find this answer:

When a column has a checkbox, another column must have data in it or it will turn red

Example. If someone is needed on site (it is checked) then a person(s) name must be in the box. They cannot leave it blank or it will be red.

On Site Person

<star> Contact List or cell is RED

Try something like this:

=IF(AND([Checkbox Column]@row = 1, [Person's Name Column]@row = ""), "Red")

I'm getting a circular reference error. This is what I am using:

=IF(AND([On Site]@row = 1, [Who is On Site]@row = ""), "Red")

Do you have formulas in either of the two columns being referenced? Which column are you putting the formula in?

Ah I got it. Thank you!
