Tip #19 - Create checkbox tracker in your spreadsheet

Hello Sheet users!

We are here with yet another tip to help you get the most out of Zoho Sheet.

Spreadsheets can be used to handle a variety of tasks, but ever tried using checkboxes to track the progress of your action items dynamically?

Here's a sample use case that provides a clear understanding of a checkbox tracker :

Consider you are a project manager and you want to use checkboxes to represent the completion of each project phase or milestone. Here's how you can do it:

Step 1: Define your rows and columns. In this instance, we can have rows as Project Name and columns as Phase/milestones. 

Step 2: Insert Checkbox using Insert -> Checkbox. Once the checkbox is inserted in the first cell (B2), drag and drop the cursor to insert the checkbox in the remaining cells.

Step 3: Now enter the function as =COUNTIF([B2:B6;True)/COUNTA([B2:B6]) and change the number type to Percentage.

 

Your checkbox tracker is ready, and as you check each action item, the progress can be viewed dynamically.

We hope you found this tip helpful. Follow our Tips and Tricks forum to discover more ways to leverage Zoho Sheet for your business. Also, join our Zoho Sheet community to stay updated with the latest product announcements and connect with fellow Sheet users.
