You can’t do it if the field Chain was a checkbox. You could have the formula like this though:
IF({Chain Amount}, ‘
’, ‘
’ )

How exactly is this entered into the formula field, might I ask?
To enter in the emoji characters:
If you have a Mac, you can bring up an emoji picker by typing Ctrl-Cmd-Space. Alternatively, you can copy and paste emoji from websites such as Emojipedia. (Copy-paste won’t work here as the forum engine replaces emoji with images.)

Woah. I’m aware of the insert character dialogue as I use it often for logical symbols and such, but I didn’t realize it accepted those, especially in a formula field.
That’s nifty.

I would like to do the same thing at PavementPilot. And your workaround solution does not solve the problem.
I have a CRM of sorts and would like to set up a Kanban based upon number of interactions. Interactions are limited to single pick formatted cells. So I have a # of interactions field that reports a number. I would like to build a formula that says if 0=“Check box 1”, 1=Check box 2, 2>Check box 3). That way I can sort my Kanban in columns of number of interactions and see which companies are progressing better or worse then others.
The more I search about how to do something with Airtable the worrier I get that this is not the right tool for me.
In a logical sense, it should be possible to amend a field based on another one. Not only for display purpose (thanks for the workaround with emojis), but for reporting purposes, I can’t be re-writing formulas in different places. I will end up with formulas like IF({CheckChain} ==
) :cold_face:
Appreciate this is an old thread but seems to be true in 2019 still
I actually found a solution for it. I am amazed with myself haha
The problem I was having was because of the duality in the condition, a positive field(the checkbox) and a negative field(the missing text in “DOC FALTA”). It all ended up working :winking_face:
IF( AND( {DOC FALTA}="", {CHECKLIST}=1), ‘
’,
‘
’
)

This is definitely the best answer, short of an Airtable team member coming in and saying they've added formulas to checkboxes.
