Hi Gareth


When you tick the box, the cell you have associated to that box will be
set to TRUE.
So, if your tick boxes were in cells C1:C8 then
=COUNTIF(C1:C8,TRUE)/8
Format the cell with the formula as Percentage.

I have a column of check boxes which users will check off as they
complete associated tasks.


I want to record a percentage total at the bottom of the column which
reflects the proportion of tasks completed.


Eg if 4 out of the 8 boxes are checked then the "50%" will be
displayed in the relevant cell.


Thanks


That's great, many thanks Roger.


Roger - slight problem with this, I don;t think I have associated the
boxes with the cells properly, as the percentage doesn't update when I
check the boxes.


I found some way of attaching it but every time I do this the word
TRUE or FALSE appears in the cell behind the box which I don't want.


How do I correct this?


Thanks
Gareth


Ctrl+Click to select rather than activate the control. Double-click
and in the Control tab of the dialog box set the proper Cell Link.

Thanks Kostis, this will update the percentage but I still get the
word TRUE or FALSE appearing in the relevant cell - how do I get rid
of this?

Also, do I have to associate each box to its cell individually, or is
there a quicker way?

Thanks
Gareth
