I'm trying to make a progress state based of check mark. For example when I checked on "STATUS 1", then the "PROGRESS" column automatically registered 25%, "STATUS 1 & 2" checked then 50% and so on.

 

Would anyone know how to do this? Thanks in advance!

    Use a formula to calulate and tack on the % instead

     

    Assuming it's the first row:

     

    = ( [Status1]1 + [Status2]1 + [Status3]1 + [Status4]1 ) / 4 * 100 +"%"

    I dont think Smartsheet will recognize a check as 1. I know 1 = checked 0 = unchecked but for summing, I dont think it sees a check as a numeric number. 

     

    Try this instead:

     

    =COUNTIF([Status 1]1:[Status 4]1, 1) / COUNT([Status 1]1:[Status 4]1)

     

    Counts the number of checked boxed and divides it by the total number of checkboxes. Format the cell as a percent.

    Awoseome! this works!

     

    =COUNTIF([Status 1]1:[Status 4]1, 1) / COUNT([Status 1]1:[Status 4]1)

     

     

    Thank you so much John!
