Is there a clean easy way to get checkbox functionality on an Excel
spreadsheet? I need to add a column to my spreadsheet that has a checkbox (or
something comparable) in each cell of that column. However, I looked at
adding checkboxes using either a form control or an activex control and both
seem to sit on top of the spreadsheet, rather than being associated with a
cell itself. Any ideas?
