0:16 another tab, we want to create another tab that has only the that is left unchecked. This is how you do it.
0:24 So we're going to start with an equal sign. We're going to go equals, we're going to do count all sheet one.
0:30 And we want to do sheet one a colon a, and that will give us everything. But that's not what we want to do.
0:37 That's a thousand. We want to count if. We want to do COUNTIF, sheet 1, A to A, the criteria being true.
