I am trying to find the average of checkboxes in a row.

At row: "Clear pads as needed..." I want the % to add up as each box is checked.

What is the formula?

Appreciate the help.

    Hi Jenn,

    Try something like.

    =COUNTIF(Stanley@row:Walter@row; 1) / COUNT(Stanley@row:Walter@row)

    The same version but with the below changes for your and others convenience.

    =COUNTIF(Stanley@row:Walter@row, 1) / COUNT(Stanley@row:Walter@row)

    Depending on your country you’ll need to exchange the comma to a period and the semi-colon to a comma.

    Did it work?

    Have a fantastic week!

  • Great solutions above!

    Thoughts on if the Check-boxes in the Row are separated with date columns? I have a sheet with Check marks to identify the task is completed, and ask the assignee to define the date it was completed on. Actually, I often specify a goal date, and when completed the assignee enters the actual date when checking the box.

    I've not sorted out a way for this to function.

    Any help greatly appreciated,

    Chris

    Hi@Chris Egge

    Thanks!

    Can you describe your process in more detail and maybe share the sheet(s)/copies of the sheet(s) or somescreenshots? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help. (share too,[email protected])

    I hope that helps!

    Be safe and have a fantastic week!

    Best,
