Use a secondary column with a font of Marlettt. Insert an a to check the
item.

Then select the full range of target cells and in the formula bar enter

=IF(ISERROR(SMALL(IF(Sheet1!B1:B20="a",ROW($A1:$A2 0),""),ROW($A1:$A20))),"",
INDEX(Sheet1!$A$1:$A$20,SMALL(IF(Sheet1!B1:B20="a" ,ROW($A1:$A20),""),ROW($A1:$A20))))

which is an array formula, it should be committed with Ctrl-Shift-Enter, not
just Enter.
Excel will automatically enclose the formula in braces (curly brackets), do
not try to do this manually.
When editing the formula, it must again be array-entered.

Hello Boffins, I am trying to put a long list of items in one column on an
excel sheet - Lets say 100 items on 100 rows in 1 column.
I would like to give each one a check box and can do using insert activex
control.
So if i now check 30 of those boxes i would like those 30 items to appear
on
sheet 2 as a condensed list. I hope this is possible?

Please help me.
Kev
