Count number of unchecked boxes

✭✭
edited 12/09/19 in Formulas and Functions

To count the number of unchecked boxes I'm using the formula:  =COUNTIF([% Complete]3:[% Complete]60, 0).  The issue is that it is also counting blank rows.  How do I get it to only count actual blank checkboxes?

  • My personal workaround was to create another checkbox column called "Header" and check that box if a row is header type row or maybe a divider. Then I hide that column.

    Then using COUNTIFS to look at the header column and the % column

    =COUNTIFS([% Complete]3:[% Complete]60, 0, Header3:Header60,0)

    Maybe there is an easier way but that's the way I've been doing it. :)
