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.

Hi Smartsheet Community, I'm working on an action management system where users create sub-actions through a Smartsheet Form. The requirement is simple: a sub-action's due date must be earlier than or equal to its parent action's due date. For example, if the parent action is due on June 30, 2027, users should not be able…
