    Hi (Hej),

    You must add a so-called helper column that will check if the row is a parent or not and then use that in the formula that's counting the checkboxes.

    Would that work?

    Can you describe your process in more detail and maybe share the sheet(s) or some screenshots? That would make it easier to help. (share too, andree@getdone.se)

    Hope that helps!

    Have a fantastic week!

    Best,

  • Hi Andrée

     

    Thank you so much for responding that quick :-D

    I did not understand that. I think it is weird that you have to make help columns to count the number of checked boxes in a coulumn. I share the sheet with you.

     

    I want to sum up the number of checked boxes i these two coulmns:

    Gjennomgått HMS-ansvarlig and Lukket HMS ansvarlig.

     

    Take a look at the photo :-D

     

    I am going to use these values in a future dashboard.

     

    Best regards

    Happy to help!

    I misunderstood your question. You don't need a helper column. I've added the information to your sheet.

    Best,

    Hi Andrée

    I am so happy thtat you can helpt me :-D

    I am new to smartsheets, but I have already fallen in love with the program :D

    I can see that you can not put the formula in the cell on the top of the respective column because it has the status as checbox?

    Thanks again!

    Best regards
