In this tutorial you will find the steps to Add or Insert Checkbox in Excel, in order to create an interactive checklist, inspection report or a to-do list.
Insert Checkbox in Excel
As you must have already seen on online forms, a checkbox also known as “Tick Box” is a little square box that allows you to select or deselect an option by clicking on it.
Clicking on the checkbox inserts a check mark icon into the checkbox, indicating that an option has been selected.
In case you happen to click on the checkbox by mistake, click on the same checkbox again and this will deselect the option and the check mark will be removed from the checkbox.
How to Insert Checkbox in Excel
While inserting a checkbox in Excel is easy, many users have a hard time trying to find the right tab or the option to insert checkbox in Excel.
This happens, because the option to Insert the checkbox, Radio Box and other interactive tools resides in the Developer tab, which is not enabled by default in Excel.
Hence, the first step would be to add the Developer tab to the ribbon menu in Excel.
1. Add Developer Tab to Ribbon Menu in Excel
The quickest way to add the Developer Tab to Ribbon menu in Excel is to right-click in an empty space in the ribbon menu and click on Customize the Ribbon… option.
On the next screen, check the little box next to Developer and click on OK.
If this does not work, you can try any of the following methods as applicable for the version of Microsoft Excel that you are using on your computer.
- Excel 2010 and Later: Click on File > Options > Customize Ribbon > check the Developer option and click on OK.
- Excel 2007 and earlier: Click on the Microsoft Office Button > Excel Options > Popular > Show Developer Tab in the Ribbon.
- Excel on Mac: Click on Customize tool bar Down Arrow and choose More Commands. On the More Commands screen, click on the Ribbon tab and check the Developer option.
2. Add Checkbox to Cells in Excel
Once the Developer tab is enabled in the ribbon menu, you are ready to insert checkboxes into any of the Cells in your Excel workbook.
Before adding the checkbox, make sure that you prepare and finalize the list of items in your check-list. Once the check-list is ready, you can follow the steps to Insert Checkbox in Excel.
Seriale coreene subtitrate blogul lui atanase. 1. To insert checkbox in Excel, click on the Developer tab and select the Check Box option.
2. Next, click in the Cell in which you want to insert the checkbox. If required, you can drag the checkbox to its desired position using the four-pointed arrows (See image below).
3. Once the checkbox is properly placed in its cell, right-click on the Checkbox > click on Edit Text and type the Title for the checkbox.
3. Copy Checkbox to Other Cells
After inserting checkbox in the first cell, you can copy and paste the same checkbox to all the required cells.
1. Right-click on the Checkbox > select Copy in the contextual menu.
2. Select the Cells into which you want to insert the checkbox, right-click on the selected Cells and choose the Paste option in the contextual menu that appears.

In order to be able to Count or use checkbox responses in an Excel formula, you need to link the checkboxes to their own individual cells.
1. Right-click on the first Checkbox and click on Format Control.
2. In the Format Control screen, click on Control tab > Cell Link box > and then click on the Cell that you want to link to the checkbox and click on OK.
