Hi there

how easy is it to add a check box to a spreadsheet to only show the tick.

when i add a box, the tick doesnt appear.

i do not want to assign a macro to this, only want to show a tick in the box.

Please help

regards

paul
 

Excel Facts

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
Use a simulated Check Box. The below will toggle the cells in Column "B" between a check and a blank when the cell is DoubleClicked

Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
Cancel = True
If Target.Column <> 2 Then Exit Sub
Target.Font.Name = "marlett"
If Target <> "a" Then
    Target = "a"
Else: Target = ""
End If
End Sub
