How to automatically check a checkbox ?

Hi !

I'm looking for the formula to automatically check a checkbox (Column named Urgent) when the due date has passed (Column name Deadline). The column Urgent is a checkbox column and the column Deadline is a date column.

I would like that, when the date in the Deadline is passed, I want the Urgent box to be ticked automatically.

Can someone help?

Thanks in advance.

J.

    The formulas that have been provided work for me. Double check the column properties and see if changing the 1 and 0 to true and false does anything. If not, provide a screenshot similar to the one below.

    =IF(Deadline@row < TODAY(0), true, false)
