Try something like this...

=IF([Issue 1 - Status Received]@row = "Status A", 1)

Daniel Stewart

Hello Paul

That works perfectly, what if i need to add status B to the option and additional columns such as Issue 2 - Status Received, can this work also.

Really appreciate your help.

It can. The first step would be to list out all criteria that could potentially check the box. From there we can build out a formula that can cover everything.

Hello Paul

In summary the sequence as below:

=IF "Issue 1 - Status Received or Issue 2 - Status Received or Issue 3 - Status Received or Issue 4 - Status Received or Issue 5 - Status Received or Issue 6 - Status Received or Issue 7 - Status Received" is either "Status A or Status B" then "Approved for Construction" column is checked.

I don't know why, but my response keeps triggering Smartsheet's security. I took a screenshot of it in a Word Doc. Let me know if you are able to read it, and in the mean time I will be reaching out to them to see what's going on...

Uploading Excel sheet to Smartsheet
Why is it so convoluted now! I eventually figured out the changes and ended up with a sheet that Smartsheet completely reorganised the rows and the sheet is now useless to me as it is not in a logical order for me to easily restore to its original layout. This is not an "improvement"! It was far easier to upload data…
