Count Checked boxes from another sheet

TKeller

Hi - I've seen this question a few times, but I am still not able to get this to work. 

I have a Metrics page that I am rolling totals up to so I can display a donut chart of projects per GEO. 

This has worked, up until now, because I have a single column as a drop-down to show these metrics. =COUNTIF({Geos}, Metric9)...I then show the metric using the chart widget in a dashboard. 

Now the team wants these areas to be checkboxes, so they can choose more than one GEO - so I've expanded to 6 columns (NA, APAC, EMEA, LTAM, Japan, All Geos). 

I have tried several different formulas, from COUNTIFS to VLOOKUP, but have had no luck. 

Any suggestions??

Hi,

Not sure that this is what you're after but try this.

=COUNTIF({NA}; 1)    

The same version but with the below changes for your and others convenience.    

=COUNTIF({NA}, 1)

Depending on your country you’ll need to exchange the comma to a period and the semi-colon to a comma.

I hope this helps you!

Have a fantastic weekend!

Andree, 

You are my hero today! 

So I guess that was the formula I did not try. I was getting hooked on the metric to report against, but didn't need it after all! 

Thank you. My sanity is restored!

Have a fantastic weekend!

Best,
