Trying to connect checkboxes to colors

Hi there-

I am trying to make a "status" column turn green or yellow based on a check box in the spreadsheet.

Basically when the "checkbox a" is checked ("true") I want it to turn my status to "Yellow". When the other box "checkbox b" is checked ("true") I want the status to turn "Green".

Here is what I have so far- =IF(FIND("true", [SOs Created]5), "Yellow", FIND("true", [Job Completed]5), "Green")

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

=if([SOs Created]@row = 1, "Yellow", if([Job Completed]@row = true, "Green"))

This is working! However, I need the green to happen when both checkboxes are marked true.

So if I check the first box it turns yellow, YAY! But, in order for the other one to make the status green you have to uncheck the first box.

Thanks!

Hi Taylor,

Try something like this.

=IF(AND([SOs Created]@row = 1; [Job Completed]@row = 1); "Green"; IF([SOs Created]@row = 1; "Yellow"))

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

=IF(AND([SOs Created]@row = 1, [Job Completed]@row = 1), "Green", IF([SOs Created]@row = 1, "Yellow"))

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

Did it work?

Hope that helps!

Have a fantastic week!

How to Share Single Workspace Folder?
I have a workspace that I created with two subfolders. A user needs to have access to only one of them but when I have that folder selected, I can only share the entire workspace with them. Is there a secret way that I can share the parent folder and ensure that any new files created will be shared with the same people? I…
I have a Pro plan but I cannot create ANY reports
I have a Pro plan but I cannot create ANY reports. The system does not allow me to choose a folder, and consequently a sheet to create a row report and suggests an upgrade to Business or Enterprise. I'm quite new to Smartsheet and feel a bit disappointed with this limitation, or maybe I'm just doing something wrong. Alberto
Showing "stacked" data / Statuses of items by swimlane
I have multiple items that each have their own statuses and that roll up to "workstreams" or swimlanes. On the dashboard, I would like to show the progress of the items by swimlane without breaking it out into separate widgets for each. This would ideally be a stacked bar where each bar represented the Items and was broken…
