How to count whether a check box is selected when table is in table filter macro

[Barbara M Waxer]

Have a table with a col containing a Pass check box (task list from Edit toolbar) and Fail check box.

Table is in the Table Filter macro.

How do I do a simple count of the Fail check boxes?

Hi @Barbara M Waxer ,

Maybe the recommendation here would be to reach out to the app vendor through their support portal about this.

Native Confluence does not provide a built-in way to directly count the number of checked checkboxes (task list items) within a table. Potentially, you could use Confluence databases >  these do provide things like column 'calculations' and counts of empty or filled-in cells. 👀

Cheers,

Hi Tomislav,

Thanks for the quick reply. Databases won't work, but at least it's good to know it wasn't the fault of my VERY basic SQL skills!
