Identifying a ticked checkbox in an =IF formula

Hi there,

I'd like to use an =IF formula to identify those cells where the checkbox is ticked - does anyone know what syntax should be used to identify a ticked checkbox, i.e. =IF(cell = ????,1,0) (where ???? = ticked checkbox)?

Thanks,

Paul

1 and 0

if([This column]1=1,"true","false") will post true when the checkbox is checked.

if([This Column]1=0,"true","false") will post true when the checkbox is unchecked.

=IF([Checkbox Column Name]# = 1, Result if Checked, Result if Unchecked)

If you give more specifics or a screenshot I can assist you with your formula.

There are a couple of things that raise questions that might be good for us to know before we can truly help you. You asked about identifying a checkbox... are you trying to flag the row with a checkbox? If so, then the formulas these others are offering you make sense. But my initial thoughts are, doesn't the tick-box being ticked identify it as being ticked?

Have you considered conditional formatting to highlight all the rows? Are you trying to list out the main column of every row that has a tick box? Your request could be better answered with some greater clarification.

Thanks,
