How to use a checkbox TRUE or FALSE statement to write into different cells

I have a workbook I use to track my daily business earnings and miles among other things and want to be able to reset it to "0" at the tick of a check box. I tried to do some research into IF statements, but I need the formula cell to look at the checkbox and then write into a different cell.

Something like:

    =IF(H28,0,do nothing)

I know this formula doesn't really work and may not make sense, but I want nothing to be done while the checkbox is FALSE, then for the formula or code to write into a different cell, or even a range of cells, if TRUE.

Here is what I am working with, along with my goal restated.

Can I do this with the IF formula, or do I need a more advanced solution?

How to keep a large data set on one sheet that prints out multiple pages?

I am using an Excel workbook to track business earnings and expenses for my gig work. Mileage logs for quarters 1 and 2 all fit on one page with room to spare, but Quarter 3 is in excess of the 65 rows I have available in my print area.

I have opted to create an additional sheet for the latter part of quarter 3, but I have run into a slight inconvenience in keeping all references updated to "Sheet 2 of 2" after using "Sheet 1 of 2" to update the quarter 3 grand total on "Sheet 2 of 2". Is there a good way to fit about 102 rows on one sheet that prints out into two separate pages without a lot of manipulation?

I think stacking two 51-row sections over one another using View > Page Layout to guide me may work, but I don't want to mess anything up. Is there a better way I could do this? I could also back track and just make every mileage sheet contain 2 parts, as I could very well run into this issue in the future when I plan to reuse this sheet.

I can't share any great screenshots because every sheet contains personal information, but here is a portion of my sheet list.

ITAW for an always-on rangefinder for automotive use?

I drive a lot and think it could be helpful or at least neat to have a rangefinder on the front of my car that reads out to a display on my dash. Is there a word for a device like this? I mainly want to know how close I am to the car in front of me, but being able to know how far away random things are would be cool too.

Should “4 year old” be hyphenated if it is used as a noun?

An r/askreddit post asked “What movie can you rewatch indefinitely?”

I responded “Most Disney movies, but Moana and Elemental come to mind as the father of a 4 year old.”

I think if I say, “I have a four-year-old daughter,” that it should be hyphenated as an adjective describing my daughter. What if it just refers to her as a four year old, as in the above example?

Any advice is appreciated!

Why is my regular SUM formula spilling the same value over 42 different cells?

My Excel version:

Microsoft® Excel® for Microsoft 365 MSO (Version 2606 Build 16.0.20131.20154) 64-bit

I am trying to:

Pull a SUM value output from one sheet and add it to the total line of the next sheet using the following formula:

='Sheet 1 of 2'!D47 + D5:D46

The SUM value formula on the source page is as follows:

=SUM(D5:D46)

What I get is 42 cells of the same value. I am new to using Excel, coming from Google Sheets, and have never encountered this before. I want my value printed once, not 42 times.

Is this a formatting issue? I found this support article on support.microsoft.com that goes over this behavior with dynamic array formulas, but I am not using a dynamic array formula here. It should be "'one value + range of values' = one possible value in one cell." My goal here is to carry over the last page's total into this page's running total, because I have too much data for one page and opted to separate them into two sheets.

Here is a reference image on Imgur.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
