Tick the box excel

You can insert form controls such as check boxes or option buttons to make data entry easier. Check boxes work well for forms with multiple options. Option buttons are better when your user has just one choice.

Sample check boxes
Sample radio button controls

To add either a check box or an option button, you’ll need the Developer tab on your Ribbon.

Notes: To enable the Developer tab, follow these instructions:

  • In Excel 2010 and subsequent versions, click File > Options > Customize Ribbon , select the Developer check box, and click OK.

  • In Excel 2007, click the Microsoft Office button Office button image > Excel Options > Popular > Show Developer tab in the Ribbon.

  1. To add a check box, click the Developer tab, click Insert, and under Form Controls, click Button image.

    the check box control on the ribbon

    To add an option button, click the Developer tab, click Insert, and under Form Controls, click Button image.

    the radio button control on the ribbon

  2. Click in the cell where you want to add the check box or option button control.

    Tip: You can only add one checkbox or option button at a time. To speed things up, after you add your first control, right-click it and select Copy > Paste.

  3. To edit or remove the default text for a control, click the control, and then update the text as needed.

    edit text for a form control

Tip: If you can’t see all of the text, click and drag one of the control handles until you can read it all. The size of the control and its distance from the text can’t be edited.

Formatting a control

After you insert a check box or option button, you might want to make sure that it works the way you want it to. For example, you might want to customize the appearance or properties.

Note: The size of the option button inside the control and its distance from its associated text cannot be adjusted.

  1. To format a control, right-click the control, and then click Format Control.

    the Format Control dialog box options

  2. In the Format Control dialog box, on the Control tab, you can modify any of the available options:

    • Checked: Displays an option button that is selected.

    • Unchecked: Displays an option button that is cleared.

    • In the Cell link box, enter a cell reference that contains the current state of the option button.

      The linked cell returns the number of the selected option button in the group of options. Use the same linked cell for all options in a group. The first option button returns a 1, the second option button returns a 2, and so on. If you have two or more option groups on the same worksheet, use a different linked cell for each option group.

      Use the returned number in a formula to respond to the selected option.

      For example, a personnel form, with a Job type group box, contains two option buttons labeled Full-time and Part-time linked to cell C1. After a user selects one of the two options, the following formula in cell D1 evaluates to «Full-time» if the first option button is selected or «Part-time» if the second option button is selected.

      =IF(C1=1,»Full-time»,»Part-time»)

      If you have three or more options to evaluate in the same group of options, you can use the CHOOSE or LOOKUP functions in a similar manner.

  3. Click OK.

Deleting a control

  • Right-click the control, and press DELETE.

Currently, you can’t use check box controls in Excel for the web. If you’re working in Excel for the web and you open a workbook that has check boxes or other controls (objects), you won’t be able to edit the workbook without removing these controls.

Important: If you see an «Edit in the browser?» or «Unsupported features» message and choose to edit the workbook in the browser anyway, all objects such as check boxes, combo boxes will be lost immediately. If this happens and you want these objects back, use Previous Versions to restore an earlier version.

If you have the Excel desktop application, click Open in Excel and add check boxes or option buttons.

Как установить флажок

Поставить флажок в Excel достаточно просто. С этим значком презентабельность и эстетичность документа повысится. Подробнее о нем будет рассказано далее.

Способ 1. Использование стандартных символов Microsoft Excel

В Экселе, как и в Word, есть собственная библиотека различных символов, которые можно установить в любом месте рабочего листа. Чтобы найти значок галочки и разместить его в ячейке, необходимо выполнить следующие действия:

  • Выделить ячейку, в которую надо поставить чекбокс.
  • Переместиться в раздел «Вставка» сверху главного меню.
  • Нажать на кнопку «Символы» в конце списка инструментов.
  • В открывшемся окне еще раз кликнуть по варианту «Символ». Откроется меню встроенных в программу значков.

kak-vstavit-chekboks-v-tablice-excel

Действия для открытия окна символов. Подходят для любой версии программы
  • В поле «Набор» указать вариант «Буквы изменения пробелов», найти знак галочки в представленном списке параметров, выделить его ЛКМ и щелкнуть по слову «Вставить» внизу окошка.

kak-vstavit-chekboks-v-tablice-excel

Поиск значка «Чекбокс»
  • Убедиться, что чекбокс вставился в нужную ячейку.

Внешний вид символа флажка, установленного в ячейке

Обратите внимание! В каталоге символов есть несколько типов чекбоксов. Значок выбирается на усмотрение пользователя.

Способ 2. Замена символов

Выполнять вышеуказанные действия необязательно. Символ чекбокса можно прописать вручную с клавиатуры компьютера, переключив ее раскладку на английский режим и нажав на кнопку «V».

Способ 3. Постановка галочки для активации чекбокса

С помощью постановки или снятия флажка в Excel можно запускать различные сценарии. Для начала потребуется разместить чекбокс на рабочем листе, активировав режим разработчика. Для вставки данного элемента необходимо проделать следующие манипуляции:

  • Нажать по слову «Файл» в левом верхнем углу экрана.
  • Перейти в раздел «Параметры».

kak-vstavit-chekboks-v-tablice-excel

Первоначальные действия для запуска режима разработчика в Эксель
  • В следующем окне надо выделить подраздел «Настройка ленты» в левой части экрана.
  • В графе «Основные вкладки» в списке найти строку «Разработчик» и поставить галочку напротив этого параметра, после чего щелкнуть по «ОК» для закрытия окошка.

kak-vstavit-chekboks-v-tablice-excel

Активация режима
  • Теперь в списке инструментов сверху главного меню программы появится вкладка «Разработчик». В нее нужно перейти.
  • В рабочем блоке инструмента кликнуть по кнопке «Вставить» и в графе «Элементы управления» формы щелкнуть по иконке чекбокса.

kak-vstavit-chekboks-v-tablice-excel

Выбор чекбокса во вкладке «Разработчик»
  • После выполнения предыдущих действия вместо стандартного курсора мышки будет отображаться значок в виде крестика. На этом этапе пользователю надо кликнуть ЛКМ по области, в которую будет вставлена форма.
  • Убедиться, что после клика в ячейке появился пустой квадратик.
  • Щелкнуть ЛКМ по этому квадратику, и в нем разместится флажок.

kak-vstavit-chekboks-v-tablice-excel

Внешний вид чекбокса после активации режима разработчика
  • Рядом с чекбоксом в ячейке будет находиться стандартная надпись. Ее потребуется выделить и нажать на клавишу «Delete» с клавиатуры, чтобы удалить.

Важно! Стандартную надпись, расположенную рядом со вставленным символом, можно заменить на любую другую на усмотрение пользователя.

Способ 4. Как создать чекбокс для реализации сценариев

Установленный в ячейке флажок можно использовать для выполнения того или иного действия. Т.е. на рабочем листе, в таблице будут вноситься изменения после установки или снятия галочки в квадратике. Чтобы реализовать такую возможность, необходимо:

  • Выполнить действия, рассмотренные в предыдущем разделе, чтобы пометить значок в ячейке.
  • Щелкнуть ЛКМ по вставленному элементу и перейти в меню «Формат объекта».

kak-vstavit-chekboks-v-tablice-excel

Первоначальные действия по запуску сценариев на основе флажка в Excel
  • Во вкладке «Элемент управления» в графе «Значение» поставить тумблер напротив строки, характеризующей текущее состояние чекбокса. Т.е. либо в поле «Установлен», либо в строчку «Снят».
  • Нажать на кнопку «Связать с ячейкой» внизу окна.

kak-vstavit-chekboks-v-tablice-excel

Манипуляции в разделе «Элемент управления»
  • Указать ячейку, в которой пользователь планирует запускать сценарии с помощью переключения чекбокса и еще раз кликнуть по тому же значку.

kak-vstavit-chekboks-v-tablice-excel

Выбор ячейки для привязки чекбокса
  • В меню «Форматирование объекта» щелкнуть по «ОК», чтобы внесенные изменения применились.

kak-vstavit-chekboks-v-tablice-excel

Применение внесенных изменений
  • Теперь после установки галочки в выбранной ячейки будет прописано слово «ИСТИНА», а после снятия значение «ЛОЖЬ».

kak-vstavit-chekboks-v-tablice-excel

Проверка результата. Если галочка установлена, в ячейке будет прописано значение «ИСТИНА»
  • К данной ячейке можно привязать любое действие, к примеру смену цвета.

Дополнительная информация! Привязка цвета производится в меню «Формат ячеек» во вкладке «Заливка».

Способ 5. Установка чекбокса с использованием инструментов ActiveX

Такой метод можно будет реализовать после активации режима разработчика. В общем виде алгоритм выполнения задачи можно сократить следующим образом:

  • Активировать режим разработчика по рассмотренной выше схеме. Подробная инструкция была приведена при рассмотрении третьего способа вставки флажка. Повторяться нецелесообразно.
  • Кликнуть правой клавишей манипулятора по ячейке с пустым квадратиком и стандартной надписью, которая появится после входа в режим «Разработчик».
  • В контекстном меню выбрать пункт «Свойства».

kak-vstavit-chekboks-v-tablice-excel

Переход к свойствам пустого чекбокса
  • Откроется новое окно, в списке параметров которого надо будет отыскать строку «Value» и вручную прописать слово «True» вместо «False».

kak-vstavit-chekboks-v-tablice-excel

Замена значения в строчке «Value»
  • Закрыть окно и проверить результат. Галочка должна появится в квадратике.

kak-vstavit-chekboks-v-tablice-excel

Финальный результат

Заключение

Таким образом, в Excel чекбокс можно поставить различными способами. Выбор метода установки зависит от целей, преследуемых пользователем. Чтобы просто пометить тот или иной объект в табличке, достаточно воспользоваться методом подмены символов.

Watch Video – How to Insert and Use a Checkbox in Excel

In Excel, a checkbox is an interactive tool that can be used to select or deselect an option. You must have seen it in many web form available online.

You can use a checkbox in Excel to create interactive checklists, dynamic charts, and dashboards.

This Excel tutorial covers the following topics:

  • How to Get the Developer Tab in Excel Ribbon.
  • How to Insert a Checkbox in Excel.
  • Examples of Using Checkboxes in Excel.
  • How to Insert Multiple Checkboxes in Excel.
  • How to Delete a Checkbox in Excel.
  • How to Fix the Position of a Checkbox in Excel.
  • Caption Name Vs. Backend Name

To insert a checkbox in Excel, you first need to have the Developer tab enabled in your workbook.

Can’t see the developer tab? 

Don’t worry and keep reading!

Get the Developer Tab in Excel Ribbon

The first step in inserting a checkbox in Excel is to have the developer tab visible in the ribbons area. The developer tab contains the checkbox control that we need to use to insert a checkbox in Excel.

Below are the steps for getting the developer tab in the Excel ribbon.

Now with the Developer tab visible, you get access to a variety of interactive controls.

Here are the steps to insert a checkbox in Excel:

  1. Go to Developer Tab –> Controls –> Insert –> Form Controls –> Check Box.
    Adding a checkbox in Excel- Select the checkmark in form controls
  2. Click anywhere in the worksheet, and it will insert a checkbox (as shown below).Click anywhere on the worksheet to insert the checkbox
  3. Now to need to link the checkbox to a cell in Excel. To do this, right-click on the checkbox and select Format Control.Right click on the checkbox and select Format Control
  4. In the Format Control dialog box, in the Control tab, make the following changes:
    • Value: Checked (this makes sure that the checkbox is checked by default when you open the workbook)
    • Cell Link: $A$1 (this is the cell linked to the checkbox). You can manually enter this or select the cell to get the reference.Link a check box to a cell in Excel
  5. Click OK.

Now your checkbox is linked to cell A1, and when you check the checkbox, it will show TRUE in cell A1, and when you uncheck it, it will show FALSE.

Excel Checkbox is now linked to the cell A1

Examples of Using a Checkbox in Excel

Here are a couple of examples where you can use a checkbox in Excel.

Creating an Interactive To-Do List in Excel

Below is an example of a To-Do list that uses checkboxes to mark the task as complete.

To Do List using check boxes in Excel

A couple of things are happening in the example above:

  • As soon as you check the checkbox for an item/task, the status changes to Done (from To be Done), the cell gets a green shade, and the text gets a strikethrough format.
  • The value of the cell link for that checkbox changes from FALSE to TRUE.
  • The ‘Task Completed’ and ‘% of Task Completed’ numbers (in cell H3 and H4) change based on how many tasks have been marked as completed.

Here is how to make this:

  • Have the activities listed in cell A2:A7.
  • Insert checkboxes and place it in cell B2:B7.
  • Link these checkboxes to cell E2:E7. There is no way to link all the checkboxes at one go. You’ll have to manually link each checkbox one by one.
  • In cell C2, enter the following formula: =IF(E2,”Done”,”To Be Done”) and drag for all the cells (C2:C7).
    • In cell C2:C7, apply conditional formatting to give the cell a green background color and strikethrough format when the value in the cell is Done.
  • In cell H3, use the following formula: =COUNTIF($E$2:$E$7,TRUE)
    • This will count the total numbers of tasks that have been marked as completed.
  • In cell H4, use the following formula: =COUNTIF($E$2:$E$7,TRUE)/COUNTIF($E$2:$E$7,”<>”)
    • This will show the percentage of tasks completed.

Creating a Dynamic Chart in Excel

You can use an Excel checkbox to create a dynamic chart as shown below:

Insert a Checkbox in Excel - Dynamic Chart

In this case, the checkbox above the chart is linked to cell C7 and C8.

If you check the checkbox for 2013, the value of cell C7 becomes TRUE. Similarly, if you check the checkbox in for 2014, the value of cell C8 becomes TRUE.

The data used in creating this chart is in C11 to F13. The data for 2013 and 2014 is dependent on the linked cell (C7 and C8). If the value in cell C7 is TRUE, you see the values in C11:F11, else you see the #N/A error. Same is the case with data for 2014.

Now based on which checkbox is checked, that data is shown as a line in the chart.

Click here to download the dynamic chart template.

Inserting Multiple Checkboxes in Excel

There are a couple of ways you can insert multiple checkboxes in the same worksheet.

#1 Inserting a Checkbox using the Developer Tab

To insert more than one checkbox, go to the Developer Tab –> Controls –> Insert –> Form Controls –> Check Box.

Now when you click anywhere in the worksheet, it will insert a new checkbox.

You can repeat the same process to insert multiple checkboxes in Excel.

Note:

  • The checkbox inserted this way are not linked to any cell. You need to manually link all the checkboxes. 
  • The checkbox would have different caption names, such as Check Box 1 and Check Box 2, and so on.

#2 Copy Pasting the Checkbox

Select an existing checkbox, copy it and paste it. You can also use the keyboard shortcut (Control + D).

Note: 

  • The copied checkboxes are linked to the same cell as that of the original checkbox. You need to manually change the cell link for each checkbox.
  • The caption names of all the copied checkboxes are the same. However, the backend name would be different (as these are separate objects).

#3 Drag and Fill Cells with Checkbox

If you have a checkbox in a cell in Excel and you drag all fill handle down, it will create copies of the checkbox. Something as shown below:

Inserting Multiple Checkboxes in Excel - Drag and Copy

Note:

  • The caption names of all the new checkboxes are the same. However, the backend name would be different (as these are separate objects).
  • All these checkboxes would be linked to the same cell (if you linked the first one). You need to manually change the link of all these one by one.

Deleting the Checkbox in Excel

You can easily delete a single checkbox by selecting it and pressing the delete key. To select a checkbox, you need to hold the Control key and the press the left button of the mouse.

If you want to delete multiple checkboxes:

  • Hold the Control key and select all the ones that you want to delete.
  • Press the Delete key.

If you have many checkboxes scattered in your worksheet, here is a way to get a list of all the checkbox and delete at one go:

Note: The selection pane displays all the objects of the active worksheet only.

How Fix the Position of a Checkbox in Excel

One common issue with using shapes and objects in Excel is that when you resize cells or hide/delete rows/columns, it also affects the shapes/checkboxes. Something as shown below:

Insert a Checkbox in Excel - Move Size Fixed

To stop the checkbox from moving around when you resize or delete cells, do the following:

Now when you resize or delete cells, the checkbox would stay put.

Caption Name Vs. Name

When you insert a checkbox in Excel, you see a name in front of the box (such as Check Box 1 or Check Box 2).

Insert a Checkbox in Excel - Caption Name

This text – in front of the box –  is the Caption Name of the checkbox. To edit this text, right-click and select the ‘Edit Text’ option.

Insert a Checkbox in Excel - Change Caption Text

While you see the new text, in the backend, Excel continues to refer to this checkbox as Check Box 1.

If you select the checkbox and look at the Name Box field, you will see the name Excel uses for this checkbox in the backend.

Insert a Checkbox in Excel - Caption and Backend Name

You can easily change this backend name by first selecting the checkbox in the worksheet and then typing the name in the name box (the naming rules are same as that of named ranges).
