I am trying to write a formula over a column that has check boxes. Is this possible?

ECD Auto Design

Good Morning,

Is there any way to write a formula in a cell that is origininally desinged for a check box? The error i am running into is that I am trying to display some data from the lower portion of the sheet that consists of check boxes

Is there any way around this error of "#boolean expected"?

Hi @ECD Auto Design

I hope you're well and safe!

Yes, you'd only need to add +"" after the formula.

Did that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!

Best,

Ok, so that worked and then i immediately ran into the issue where i tried to convert it to a percentage and it wont let me. I dont want to display a number with decimals I just want to display 1-100%

I have an idea that might work.

Can you maybe share the sheet(s)/copies of the sheet(s)? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help. (share too, andree@workbold.com)

I shared the sheet and made a draft of a new template. You can play with it. I gave a small example of what i am tring to achieve. So in the column "Gate 2 Check" I want to display the Fabup Percentage complete from the "Gate 123 Summary" section
