Hi all. Could you please let me know how I get the "Cell Controls-Checkbox" tab on my ribbon. I have searched the "Customize Ribbon" and can't find it there. Am I doing something wrong or is it not available on the Microsoft 365 family subscription

In Microsoft Excel, checkboxes and other form controls are part of the "Developer" tab, which might not be visible by default. To enable the "Developer" tab and insert checkboxes are consistent across recent versions of Excel, including those available with Microsoft 365 subscriptions and standalone versions such as Excel 2016, 2019, and Excel 2021.

Summary
To enable and use checkboxes in Excel, you need to add the "Developer" tab to your ribbon through the Excel Options.

This feature is available in the Microsoft 365 Family subscription as well as other versions of Excel.
If you follow these steps and still cannot find the "Developer" tab or the checkbox control, ensure that your Excel installation is up-to-date. The text and the steps are created with the help of AI.

SolutionThese in-cell check boxes are currently being beta-tested. They are only available to Microsoft 365 Insiders on the Beta Channel. We don't know yet when they will be released to 'ordinary' users on the Current Channel.
