How do I 'Total' the checkboxes in a Column using Numbers.

Using Numbers, how do I use a series of Checkboxes, (column B, cells B2:B21), to get a TOTAL? In other words, what formula would I use to get the Total of "checked boxes"? Thanks to all that readbthis!

Each checkbox has the value TRUE (checked) or FALSE (unchecked). What you are looking for is a COUNT od the checked boxes, rather than a SUM.


If row 22 (where the count is to appear) is a Footer row, use this formula:


=COUNTIF(B,TRUE)


If Row 22 is not a Footer row, you will have to specify the cell range:


=COUNTIF(B2:B21,TRUE)

Buddy,


Generally since you are posting a new question you should start a new thread. You can always paste the link to this thread in your new post to indicate what you have already reviewed. In addition it is a good idea to show what you have done so we see:

1) what you arrangement and presentation is

2) the formulas you are trying to use.


in your case countif() will not work. you want to use the function sumif() like:

row 10 is a footer row which can make by selecting the number of footer rows you want in the table inspector:

User uploaded file

C10=SUMIF(B, TRUE, C)
