Checkboxes not allowing me to select individually
So, I am creating a spreadsheet for work purposes and I have included two columns that require a checkbox in each cell. I have now added over 200 checkboxes to cover enough cells for the information ...
LHollands I wonder how you created the checkboxes in the first column. Did you create them one-by-one? And how did you create the ones in the second column?
I suspect, you created one box, linked it to a cell and then just copied it 200 times. Then all of these are linked to the same "result"-cell. TRUE means checked, FALSE means unchecked. (Un)check one and all get (un)checked at the same time. You need to go in to each and every box and allocate a single linked cell for every single box. Or, create them with a small macro. But that requires some knowledge of Visual Basic. Are you comfortable with that?
