Multiple checkboxes automatically checked from one checkbox.

Hello,

What formula would I use to have all of the checkboxes in the Ann Arbor Terminal 1-5 columns checked, after checking the prior "Ann Arbor Payment Terminals Inspected" column?

Basically I'd like the checkbox in this column to when checked, trigger the other columns in the same row to be checked (without having to do so manually).

    So to do this you would need to use a column formula into each individual Terminal's Column to auto check if the Ann Arbor Payment Terminals Inspected column was checked.

    The problem with this is once a column formula is in a column, you are not able to manually change the value. This means that someone will not be able to come in an check just that Terminal 2 individually was completed.

    Alternatively, You could have a formula auto checking the Ann Arbor Payment Trminals Inspected column if all those individual columns are checked, that formula would look like this

    =IF(AND([Ann Arbor terminal 1]=1,[Ann Arbor terminal 2]=1,[Ann Arbor terminal 3]=1,[Ann Arbor terminal 4]=1,[Ann Arbor terminal 5]=1),1,0).

    @ me if I misunderstood!

    Hi @GiselleF

    I hope you're well and safe!

    I'd recommend using a workflow with the Change a cell action that triggers when you check the payment box.

    Make sense?

    Would that work/help?

    I hope that helps!

    Be safe, and have a fantastic weekend!

    Best,
