Hi,

I have 3 level parent-children rows. I also have a column with a checkbox. Is there a formula or automation that would check the parent row if all children are checked?

    I would do something like this on your parent checkboxes:

    =IFERROR(IF(COUNTIF(CHILDREN([checkbox column]@row), 1) / COUNT(CHILDREN([checkbox column]@row)) = 1, 1, 0), 0)

    You forgot some parentheses.

    There should be one after [Column3]@row)

    Try copying this one below:

    =IFERROR(IF(COUNTIF(CHILDREN([Column3]@row), 1) / COUNT(CHILDREN([Column3]@row)) = 1, 1, 0), 0)
