Summary in a Prefilled Table: Learn how to automatically total Yes/No selections in a default table

Default tables allow you to continuously add rows when you fill out the form, therefore there isn't a fixed number of rows when the template is created. However, this doesn't allow you to have a row for totals or sums at the bottom of the same table. The only way to do it is to create a second table for the totals and cross-reference it to the first table.

To start, navigate to your cursor to the left tab and use 'Default table' under 'Table' for your Table1/data table. Input your data. You can set "Yes/No" as a 'List field' or a 'Text field'.

  • Note: It is ideal to use a list for "Yes/No" to prevent the user from mispelling the words that would in turn affect the count.

  • COUNTIF() is not case sensitive. "Yes" = "yes" = "YES"

Next, add a 'Prefilled' table under that and set one cell as your display cell.

Use the formula COUNTIF() to your display cell:

=COUNTIF(Source_Table!Column:Column, "Text")

For example:

Given that

  • Table1 is the Source_Table

  • A is the Column

  • "Yes" is the Text you want to count

  • Table2 cell B1 is your display cell

Use the formula to Table 2 cell B1,

=COUNTIF(Table1!A:A, "Yes")
