    Tick boxes to create a RAG rating

    We have a spreadsheet where we have completed an audit on whether leaners have completed a certain task.

    Each Col is a task. Each row is a learner
    Is there was way of creating a rule in a new cell so that, for example
    5 ticks = green
    3-4 ticks = yellow
    2 or less = red?

    Assuming the 'ticks' are a character of some sort then use Conditional Formatting and use a COUNTA() formula to count the number of non blank cells.

    Re: Tick boxes to create a RAG rating

    Do you have tick boxes associated with those cells or something else?

    It really would be easier if you attached a sample workbook.

    If you are using a letter in a cell (like Y), then an example CF rule for green would be:

    =COUNTIF($A2:$E2,"Y")=5

    i'll let you in to a secrete..... it's a google sheet that my colleague did you when I download an example, it doesn't have the tick boxes, just "true" or "false".

    Are the tick boxes a google sheets thing?

    Do you need this to work with Excel or Google Sheets? I have no idea about the latter.

    Try this for your green rule:

    =COUNTIFS(range,"true")=5

    Again, a sample workbook would help us to help you ...
