Multiple Checkboxes in Same Column

Anyone figured out a way to consolidate multiple checkboxes into a single column? Basically, it is the button() function but geared towards checkboxes.

Have you tried making a new column and then using concatenate?

Hi AJM,

Yes, it just provides the true/false value for each of the checkbox columns

Do you absolutely must?

What I would do is simply create a bunch of separate checkbox columns and give them blank column names (using an empty character for the 1st one, two empty characters for the 2nd and so on), and make them all equally narrow, to simulate that ‘in the row’ look.

If I need a dynamic list of checkboxes, I’d probably be using buttons via the Button() formula and an according emoji or button icon depending on each checkbox’s state.

Then also, you could just always use a canvas column and make as many checkbox controls in it as you want. They all will be global controls though (displayed as hundreds of individual checkboxes in your Doc Map etc).

And I also believe there might be a solution using a bunch of checklist paragraphs that are forced to display side by side (e.g. in a List)

it’s hard to help you troubleshoot this without access to a dummy doc

Those are great ideas. I will do some testing today. Really appreciate the response.

Good point. I’m going to do some testing today and will post the dummy doc once it is ready. Thanks again.
