Checked boxes return TRUE() or FALSE() depending on whether they're checked or not. You can also compare them to the values 1 (TRUE) or 0 (False).


In this case, you want a sum of the values in C where A is FALSE. That would look like:


=SUMIF(A,FALSE,C)


which can be read as look at the values in column A, for every one that matches the condition FALSE, add the corresponding value from column C


(adjusted for column references vs. header labels - your use of A/B/C/D for the column headers for columns B, C, D and E is a little confusing, but I get that you're just obfuscating the data)
