I have a checkbox(text) on a layout that gives the user an option of selecting up to 4 items.

99% of the time only one option is selected, and the other 1% of the time the need may be to select 2 checkbox options.

What i am trying to achieve is to have a separate calculation field to display only the chosen checkbox item.

I tried the following, but i do not get a value displayed in the calc field:


Case(Checkbox_Text_field="Checkbox_Option_1";"Option_1_Selected";

Checkbox_Text_field="Checkbox_Option_2";"Option_2_Selected";

Checkbox_Text_field="Checkbox_Option_3";"Option_3_Selected";

Checkbox_Text_field="Checkbox_Option_4";"Option_4_Selected")

How can i correctly accomplish this?

Do i need to somehow use a True/False statement in the calc?

Not sure what exactly is the result you expect. Perhaps all you need to do is place another instance of Checkbox_Text_field on the layout, and format it as Edit box.

I just tried your suggested method, but for some reason i only ever get the first check box value, even if the second value was the only selection chosen.

How strange is that?
