@Mark Have Math columns always been able to do this? I thought Glide tables didn’t recognize true/false as 0/1. If they do, I’m super happy!

Yes as a boolean value  
For info, if you use as a filter or If/Then value, use is / is not 1  
It works very well

This is gonna be big. I think it was not always the case.

Saves me from creating an i/t/e column for each checkbox too

If I recall right I try to build something like this 2-3 months ago and it was not recognized so this will save me a lot of columns moving forward.

That makes sense then. Like @ThinhDinh…last time I tried (a few months ago) it didn’t work so I hadn’t reattempted until today.

Never tried with math columns but always used true/false as 1 or 0  
Awesome to know it 😃 will save me a lot!
