Formula for Checkbox
I would like to have a checkbox appear in my project plan, only when a certain condition is met.
ex. a Y in a helper column
Does anyone know how to do this?
Tx, Tom

Hi Andrée,
Yes sure I can.
In my project plan I would like to have a checkbox appear next to a certain task or tasks, so not next to all tasks.
I have created a helper column for that which would define when a checkbox is needed or not. Maybe there is another way to do this without a helper column ... so open to suggestions.
Aim is that the checkbox only appears for tasks where a formal sign off is needed.
Does this help at all?
Cheers, Tom

Happy to help!
You could add punctuation or similar and color it the same as the background in the cells where you don't want the checkbox to show, or you could add a Workflow that clears the punctuation referencing the helper column.
Make sense?
Would that work/help?
