Google Sheets: How to Sum If Checkbox is Checked

by Tutor Aspire January 17, 2023

You can use the following formula to sum values in Google Sheets if a corresponding checkbox is checked:

=SUM(ARRAYFORMULA(A2:A11*B2:B11))

This particular formula assumes that the values are in the range A2:A11 and the checkboxes are in the range B2:B11.

The following example shows how to use this formula in practice.

Example: Sum If Checkbox is Checked in Google Sheets

Suppose we have the following dataset in Google Sheets:

Note: You can add checkboxes to a range of cells by selecting a range, then clicking the Insert tab, then clicking Checkbox.

We can use the following formula to sum only the values in column A where the corresponding checkbox in column B is checked:

=SUM(ARRAYFORMULA(A2:A11*B2:B11))

The following screenshot shows how to use this formula in practice:

Google Sheets sum if checkbox is checked

The sum of the values in column A where the corresponding checkbox in column B is checked is 172.

We can confirm this is correct by manually calculating the sum of the values in column A where the corresponding checkbox in column B is checked:

Sum of Checked Checkboxes: 20 + 29 + 26 + 31 + 51 + 15 = 172

This matches the value that we calculated using the formula.
