The only way around this is to individually select each checkbox, display its properties, and modify the linked cell. Thus, a change in the "selected" state of one checkbox results in a change to them all. Even though you may place fifty checkboxes in this manner, all the checkboxes are still linked to the same cell. It is important to realize that by doing this you save a great deal of time, but you don't save all the setup time you might want to.
Select the range of cells that you want to contain checkboxes. Excel copies the cell, with the floating checkbox, to the Clipboard. This can be difficult at times, but is best done by using the arrow keys (not the mouse) to select the cell. Select the cell over which you placed the checkbox. Place your first checkbox as you normally would, setting all the properties as desired. You can make the job of placing a large number of checkboxes a bit easier by following these steps: The biggest time-consuming tasks are getting the checkbox to be the right size and linking each checkbox to a different cell in the worksheet. It takes time to place a checkbox and set its properties just right. The cell over which it is placed becomes the checkbox's anchor, so to speak, determining where the checkbox is displayed. The linked cell behaves in relationship with the checkbox as described above. In reality, a checkbox placed in this manner is related to two different cells in your worksheet: the cell over which it is placed and the cell to which it is linked. Conversely, if you change the value of the cell, the status of the checkbox also changes. When you select the checkbox, the value of the linked cell changes. Especially helpful, you can bind or link the checkbox to any cell in your worksheet. You can adjust the size, location, and other properties of the checkbox. This type of checkbox is very similar to checkboxes you would use if you created a dialog box. Excel allows you to easily add a checkbox by using the Forms toolbar. Eric asked if there was a way to quickly fill a column with a large number of checkboxes bound to a particular cell.
