Children Status Nested in IF statement with Checkboxes

Andrew Moore

Hello,

I feel like this is a simple problem but for some reason I keep getting "#INVALID OPERATION". I would like to have the formula look at the children rows and if any box is checked then check the parent row box, otherwise leave it unchecked. I came up with : =IF(CHILDREN() = 1, 1, 0). That gave me #UNPARSEABLE. So then I changed it to : =IF(CHILDREN() = 1, "true", "false"). That gave me #INVALID OPERATION.

Any Help?

Hey @Andrew Moore

see if this works for you in your parent row. If the children get their checkmark via a formula, we can look at writing one formula for the column that differentiates between the child and parent rows

=IF(COUNTIFS(CHILDREN(),1)>0,1)

cheers
