Show the Forms Toolbar
(In xl2003, it's View|Toolbar, then check Forms)

Click on the checkbox and draw it on your worksheet.
Rightclick on the checkbox and select Format Control
On the Control tab, you can specify a linked cell.

Then your formula can use that linked cell to decide what to do:

(I used A1 in my example)

=if(a1=true,sum(b9:c12)*d99,x992-j15)

You'll have to change the formula to match your worksheet.
