Re: Checkbox Count as Progress Bar
Hey!
I have 3 checkbox fields that indicate the completion of a task. I want to show completion of the tasks using the newly released progress bar on the Percent tab, but without having to manually type in the thirds (1/3, 2/3, 3/3).
If I use a formula to sum up the checks as a third, then use another formula to make it into a percent, I still won't be able to get the bar since the formula field does not come with that feature. How do I get that % into the percent field without having to create an automation? Is that the only way, or is there an easier/simpler way to go about this?
Thanks in advance 🙂

Hello. You can use the new status bar on a formula field. Click on the formatting tab in your field properties.

alebarbosacial,
I have subtasks on some tasks and wanted to count them and track the completion. I built my subtasks by following the directions given in this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTa5rwgOMwY
Here's my formula, which is a math formula of two formulated fields, which came from this video.
Hey!
This is a very helpful video, however, I have 100+ records that needs those three completion indicators and the video is specific to checkboxes in a large text field. I want to avoid copy and pasting that text in all of them & new ones that are created.
I can't seem to find the best formula that works for what I need, which is to provide a completion percentage based on the 3 check mark fields I have. I feel like there is a simple way to do this, but haven't found the correct one. Is this something you can help with?
