Formula help on IF ELSE

I want to have a condition where IF Delivered column checkbox is checked, then that whole row will be deleted. Is that feasible?

Can you please guide me how to start with it?

Hi, this would be really helpful - but not to delete the row, just to hide it please. Not sure it's possible, but...

There are a couple of ways this might be possible. If you set up a default filter on a sheet to always load rows where complete box is unchecked, then, if you checked off a task or two and reloaded the sheet those tasks would not be visible the next time it loads.

To do this:

Create a new filter.
Title it and check the Share Filter checkbox
Set the criteria to the checkbox is unchecked
Then click okay
Save the sheet to save the shared filter.
Click on SHARE
Scroll down and click edit next to the default view
Set the filter to new filter you saved
Save.
Check off some boxes and save the sheet.
Reload the sheet and the completed items will not be visible.

See attached screenshot. (Right-click on the image and view in tab.

If you wanted to delete the row, you should look at Craig Williams' post on using Zapier. http://ronin-global.com/2016/12/11/smartsheet-fixed-date-upon-completion/ -- Though the post is about setting a specific date, you can use the same functionality to delete rows. It would require a paid plan for Zapier but it is possible with this tool.

A multiple SUMIF function
My current formula is below. I would like to update this so that I only get a total of those that have been Quoted and have a timeframe data of 2025. How do I add this extra filter into the formula? =SUMIF(Status:Status, "Quoted", [Est. GP]:[Est. GP])
Missing column in Report if I use a formula
I'm not able to "view by" a field that I have in my sheets - Quarters (Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4) - in my report. I think it is because I have used a formula to calculate the quarters in my sheets. Does anyone know a way to get a formula based field on the dropdown for view by in my report?
SUMIF function not working
=SUMIFS({GM Compliance Trained}, {GM Compliance Training Dept}, Department@row , {Compliance Training Date}, MONTH(7, 8, 9)) GM Compliance Trained is the number of employees trained.
