Hi ....,
Use separate cells, if you want them to appear grouped then
use borders to encompass several cells. the borders should
be consistent in a column because borders will not move with the
sorted cell.

"OT" wrote in message ...
I am hoping to create a log with the following Columns:

Title
Log Number
Type

Under the "Type" Column header, I was hoping to have a number of options. I
would like to do this project in excel. Is it possible to have a number of
check boxes within one cell? Also, is it possible to sort, based on these
check boxes?
Any help or suggestions is much appreciated!
