If you have a lot of check boxes to put on your sheet, maybe you can make use of this macro I came across in the forums long time ago.
Play around with it in a blank workbook, it can be handy.
Code:
Private Sub Insert_Checkboxes()
Dim myCell As Range
Dim myRng As Range
Dim CBX As CheckBox
With ActiveSheet
'delete existing checkboxes from sheet, links are not cleared.
.CheckBoxes.Delete
'Exit Sub '<~~~~~ uncomment to delete checkboxes only. Linked cells are NOT cleared.
Set myRng = .Range("A2:A11") '<~~~~~ enter the range to have checkboxes
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For Each myCell In myRng.Cells
With myCell
Set CBX = .Parent.CheckBoxes.Add _
(Top:=.Top, _
Left:=.Left, _
Width:=.Width, _
Height:=.Height) 'click area same size as cell
CBX.Name = "CBX_" & .Address(0, 0)
CBX.Caption = "Label goes here" 'or whatever you want
CBX.Value = xlOff 'initial value unchecked
CBX.LinkedCell = .Offset(0, 1).Address '<~~~~~ enter offset to linked cell
End With
Next myCell
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
