    Checkbox Automation for Parent Row

    ✭✭
    in Formulas and Functions

    I am looking for a solution to have a checkbox checked once all the checkboxes in the children rows are checked. The checkboxes are in the same column. I tried putting this formula in row 252 but it's not working. =IF(Status253:Status261 = "1", 1, 0)

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks in advance

      If you're looking to make the whole column a formula column, you might need a helper column to act as a trigger but if you're only interested in putting the formula in the parent row, you could try this:

      =IF(COUNTIF(CHILDREN(), 1) / COUNT(CHILDREN()) = 1, 1, 0)
