Laying it all out definitely helps now that I see what all of your criteria is. Give this a try:<\/p>

Formulas don't always scale very well which is why I suggested a reference table. If you would prefer to work with a formula, then you would use something like this for the example in your original post:<\/p>

Sorry about that. I misunderstood the first time I read.<\/p>


<\/p>

You will need to set up the date checked column, and you will also need to set up a second sheet as a recipient for a copy row automation that copies when the box is unchecked. This will capture the static data on the second sheet for how many days the box was checked before it was again unchecked. You will also need a unique identifier on each row (Auto-Number column).<\/p>

Then the formula would be<\/p>

=SUMIFS({Static Sheet Days Checked Column}, {Static Sheet Unique ID Column}, @cell = [Unique ID]@row) + IF([Checkbox Column]@row = 1, TODAY() - [Checked Date]@row, 0)<\/p>"}]}},"status":{"statusID":3,"name":"Accepted","state":"closed","recordType":"discussion","recordSubType":"question","log":{"dateUpdated":"2023-01-13 20:26:11","updateUser":{"userID":120420,"name":"asish lamichhane","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/profile\/asish%20lamichhane","photoUrl":"https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6031209\/uploads\/defaultavatar\/nWRMFRX6I99I6.jpg","dateLastActive":"2023-01-13T20:26:15+00:00","banned":0,"punished":0,"private":false,"label":"✭✭✭✭✭✭"}}},"bookmarked":false,"unread":false,"category":{"categoryID":322,"name":"Formulas and Functions","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/formulas-and-functions","allowedDiscussionTypes":[]},"reactions":[{"tagID":3,"urlcode":"Promote","name":"Promote","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":5,"count":0},{"tagID":5,"urlcode":"Insightful","name":"Insightful","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":11,"urlcode":"Up","name":"Vote Up","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":13,"urlcode":"Awesome","name":"Awesome","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0}],"tags":[]}],"title":"Trending in Formulas and Functions ","subtitle":null,"description":null,"noCheckboxes":true,"containerOptions":[],"discussionOptions":[]}">
