Help on an If Then Formula

Kris Peeters

I have columns with checkboxes showing whether or not a person completed a course. I would like to enter a formula that shows if all the columns checked, then Assured Instructor should show an "X".

Try this:

=IF(COUNTIFS([Curriculum & Course Design 50]@row:[Data & Evidence Analysis]@row, (@cell = 1)) = 7, "X", "")

In English, count all the checked boxes in this range of cells, and if the count equals 7, set this cell value to "X", otherwise leave it blank.

A checked box in a checkbox column evaluates to 1, so that's how the COUNTIFS is determining if the box is checked, because the cell would be equal to 1 if checked, 0 if not checked.

Hi @Kris Peeters

I hope you're well and safe!

Try something like this.

=IF(COUNTIF([Curriculum & Course Design 50]@row:[Date & Evidence Analysis]@row, 1) = 7,
 "X", "")

Did that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!

Thanks for the quick reply. It didn't seem to work, still receive an unparseable error.

Thank you @Jeff Reisman! That worked. I very much appreciate the explanation of the formula - very helpful.
