An easy way to flip the state of all check boxes. All right, so there's a cool trick.
Where you can multi-select these check boxes.
Notice that the active cell right here is B4, which is currently true and when I press space bar, it changes everything to false.
Boy, that's not really what I would want to happen.
And if I select the other way, starting from a false cell and it's press space bar, it changes everything to true.
So it's toggling the active cell and propagating through the whole thing. That's not really what I think would be useful.
Wouldn't it be better if we had something that would flip those?
So here's a macro on my quick access toolbar. It just changes them all.
Or a couple of other macros I have up there that will make everything true or make everything false. Let's take a look at the code.
So just in case someone selected the entire spreadsheet and ran the macro, I want to do just special cells that are constants and the four says logicals.
That'll limit it to just the checkbox cells.
And just simply reverse the, if it's true, make it false, if it's false, make it true. Turn off error checking.
For all true, we just say cell value equals true.
For all false cell value equals false.
Put these in your personal macro workbook, add them to the quick access toolbar and you'll have three awesome tricks to make these new check boxes even better. All right, thanks for stopping by.
We'll see you next time for another net cast from MrExcel.
