Hi,
I am currently working on a project where I will have multiple check boxes on a row where each checkbox is going to of different values (true/false). I need a formula that will look over the checkboxes and only give me the value of the selected checkbox and then with this the value of that cell with be presented at the end of the row.
I hope this makes sense
Hi Harry,
Try this.
=IF(A@row = 1; "A"; IF(B@row = 1; "B"; IF(C@row = 1; "C"; IF(D@row = 1; "D"; "None"))))
Please see the attached link/screenshot for more information.

Depending on your country you’ll need to exchange the semi-colon to a comma in the above formula.
I hope this helps you!
Best,

This is when an @column would be nice. Just put a basic
=@column1
into a function to pull from the cell in the first row of that particular column. Similar to an @cell.
Simply put your values in row 1. Then you could use a COLLECT function to look across the row and pull the value from the first row for the column of any box that's checked.
Write up the enhancement request Paul.

I am fairly certain I already have. Haha. But I'll have to dig through my list to see for sure. I'll update when I either find I already have or submit a new one.
Thank you guys very much, will put it all to the test now
Happy to help!
And submitted.
I just had another thought. It's something I have used before, so I know it would work for you as long as you are willing to lock down row 1.
For this example I will just use the column names of A, B, C, D, and E.
In row 1, replicate your column names. So in column A, row 1, you would type A. Do this on down the line.
In the column where you want to display the checkbox value, enter:
=JOIN(COLLECT(A1:E1, A@row:E@row, @cell = 1), " - ")
This will pull the value from row one for any boxes that are checked in the row the formula is in and put a dash in between if you have more than one. So if column A is checked, the formula will simply display A. If columns A and B are checked, you will see A - B.
Does this work for what you are trying to do?
Hello, I have a workflow where, when a team member checks a checkbox, Smartsheet automatically sends an email to themselves containing merge fields that are used as a customer email draft. The challenge is that this activity typically happens on a deadline day, and a team member may need to generate 30 or more of these…
Hi all, reaching out to see if of you have ideas; I'm hoping this makes sense: I'm having some trouble getting my formulas to pull data in correctly. I currently have a sheet (primary data) where I have data in rows where each row is a single project, with columns identifying persons, $ values, unique project identifier,…
I have a sheet with 5000 rows and 30 columns. with 4 columns of them are formular columns. How can i reach this limit for 25000000 formular cells reference? How can i enlarge this limit? I need those formular to link some data from another sheet as there is also Max cells limit for one sheet. How can I join those data…
