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
