You could do it, but as a user, I wouldn't like it.

I'd want a single checkbox: Permanent?
I could check it for true or uncheck it for false.

I don't want to have to worry about checking both boxes or even leaving both
unchecked and not knowing what that employee was.

If you really want two options, how about a couple of option buttons from the
Forms toolbar surrounded by a groupbox from that same toolbar.

Only one of those optionbuttons can be chosen at a time.

I want to add 2 checkboxes in one cell, similar to a yes/no checkbox but name
one contract and one permanent so that the person entering the data chooses
either or in that cell in order to identify if an employee is a permanent
employee or not. Can this be done in excel?
