Count checkbox and text in a column

TechDo

Hi, is it possible to count in a column, if I have check box and also N/A ?

I need to count every cell that has a check in the box or the N/A.

Thank you !

Try this - just change the column name for yours:

=COUNTIF(CheckBox:CheckBox, OR(@cell= 1,@cell= "N/A"))

Thanks ! I will try it now

Not working...

Hmm. Can you share a screen shot of the column with the column name? It worked when I tested it. Sometimes copying/pasting a formula from here fails, better to type it out.

My formula was working before they decided to add the n/a....

I've tried your formula in both colums

Nic Larsen

Make sure you bracket your column name in the formula if you have spaces in there. It appears you do. I've adjusted mine.

=COUNTIF([Check Box]:[Check Box], OR(@cell= 1,@cell= "N/A"))

Otherwise, I am happy to look at a copy of the sheet if you want to share it.

Also - Are you doing the formula in the Top/2nd row rather than an adjacent column. That may be the issue with my formula since its looking at the entire column. Adjust the Range if that's the case.

Example

=COUNTIF([Check Box]2:[Check Box]100, OR(@cell= 1,@cell= "N/A"))

TechDo

Yes i've added a column for the formula

Ok l'll try it again.

Thank you so much !

It worked !!!!! I just had a space to remove !!!!

=COUNTIF([Doc 1B ]:[Doc 1B ]; OR(@cell= 1;@cell= "n/a"))

Thank you again !

Perfect!

I have a similar request, but I want to count any text in a row, not a specific word or phrase. For example, each row may have a different "comment" in a cell. Is there a way to make a formula that counts the checkbox, if checked, and also count if there is text in a cell.

Current formula is set up to count anything in that row, that is labeled "C" (for critical) when the checkbox is checked.

=IF(Critical@row = "C", COUNTIFS(Carleen75:Janet75, 1))

But when we have text in that row, it doesn't count it.
