    Select your cells and try running this macro to add checkboxes and link it to the cell behind the checkbox.

     

    If that's not what you want then you can change the linked cell to 

     

    cb.LinkedCell = cell.Offset(0,1).Address

     

    to link it to the cell on the same row and one column to the right. Also, you would need to change the cell reference for the custom number format to match the linked cell (I'm assuming you want the linked cell to appear blank for a cleaner look - if not, then you can delete that line).

     

    cell.Offset(0,1).NumberFormat = ";;;"

     

     

     

     

    Sub AddCheckBoxes()
         Const height As Double = 19.2
         Const width As Double = 17.4
         Dim left As Double
         Dim top As Double
         Dim area As Range
         Dim cell As Range
         Dim cb As Object
         
         
         For Each area In Selection.Areas
              For Each cell In area.Cells
                   left = cell.left + ((cell.width - width) / 2)
                   top = cell.top + ((cell.height - height) / 2)
                   Set cb = ActiveSheet.CheckBoxes.Add(left, top, width, height)
                   
                   cb.LinkedCell = cell.Address
                   cb.Caption = vbNullString
                   cb.Value = False
                   
                   cell.NumberFormat = ";;;"
              Next cell
         Next area
         
         Set cb = Nothing
         Set area = Nothing
         Set cell = Nothing
        
    End Sub
