Hi 

 

Please, can some help I have a sheet that uses check boxes and trying to count the number of boxes in that have been ticked.  I am using this formula however it just returns a value of count 0

 

Any Ideas 

 

="Count: " + COUNTIF(CHILDREN(Sent47:Sent1), 1)

    Andrew,

     

    Try this:

     

    ="Count: " + COUNTIF(Sent1:Sent47), 1)

     

    The use of CHILDREN in this case appears to be where the problem lies.

     

    This will count only rows 1 to 47.

    If you want the whole Sent row

     

    ="Count: " + COUNTIF(Sent:Sent), 1)

     

    as long as your formula is in a different row.

     

    Craig
