Formula on checkboxes

Hello all,


I am trying to find a formula that will show me progress based on 3 or more columns that are checkboxes. I want to show progress if one of them is checked, I want this new column where the formula will be to say not started if all are not checked and completed if all are checked. Can this be done? I tried to come up with something but haven't been successful. I need the formula under the Status column.

    Hi Jona,

    Try something like this.

    =IF(COUNTIF([Training 1]@row:[Training 3]@row; 1) = 3; "Complete"; IF(COUNTIF([Training 1]@row:[Training 3]@row; 1) = 0; "Not Started"; IF(COUNTIF([Training 1]@row:[Training 3]@row; 1) > 0; "Progress")))

    The same version but with the below changes for convenience.

    =IF(COUNTIF([Training 1]@row:[Training 3]@row, 1) = 3, "Complete", IF(COUNTIF([Training 1]@row:[Training 3]@row, 1) = 0, "Not Started", IF(COUNTIF([Training 1]@row:[Training 3]@row, 1) > 0, "Progress")))

    Depending on your country/region, you'll need to exchange the comma to a period and the semi-colon to a comma.

    Did that work?

    I hope that helps!

    Be safe and have a fantastic week!
