Sorry to be so dense, but I haven't a clue what a valadation list is.
Let's say from A1 to A10 I want to put a check mark (yes is a check; no
is empty). What do I do?

Hi Nikravo,

It is unclear what you need to do by a check. With the check you will
either say ckecked or not (isn't it) or simply "YES" and "NO".

Suppose you have your data from A1 to A10, Then make a drop down
validation list on B1 saying Yes or No. Make it from Menu - Data /
Validation. Click on "Allow", select "List". Type: Yes, No in box given
below. Click Ok. Copy and Paste it till B10.

Now on the C1 till C10 you can have the function as
=if(B1="YES",...,if(B1="NO",...,"")

For "....", I mean what you want to do if YES is selected or what if NO
is selected.

I hope this works for you.


Thanks

Hi,

Creating a check means flagging the cells. So you might need VBA for
this. If you need flagging the cell without VBA you may use Y or N for
the cells. Try this one.


thanks

I can't seem to do this in one fell swoop. I can create a check on the
forms toolbar and paste it into a cell. But the cell is too small and
I'd rather not increase the size of the cell. I'd also like a check
mark in every cell that runs down a column, about 50 or so. Is there a
wat to automatically do this, as well?
