I would like to add a checkbox in each row that has a specific value in
column "B" (i.e. "Mark") and then link that check box to another column in
the same row. Can this be done with a loop so that I do not have to manually
do this? Thanks for the help.

Hello Herd,

Yes it can be done and placed into a loop...
______________________________

Sub AddCheckBoxes()

'Add A Forms CheckBox

Dim Cell As Range
Dim Col As String
Dim LinkCol
Dim R As Long
Dim Value

Col = "B"
Value = "Mark"
LinkCol = "D"

For R = 1 To ActiveSheet.Cells(Rows.Count, Col).Row
Set Cell = ActiveSheet.Cells(R, Col)
If Cell.Value = Value Then
With ActiveSheet.Shapes
..AddFormControl xlCheckBox, Cell.Left, Cell.Top, Cell.Width,
Cell.Height
End With

Shapes(Shapes.Count).ControlFormat.LinkedCell = Cell.(R,
LinkCol).Address
End If
Next R

End Sub
______________________________

Sincerely,
Leith Ross

One mo

Option Explicit
Sub addCBX()
Dim myCBX As CheckBox
Dim myCell As Range

With ActiveSheet
.CheckBoxes.Delete 'nice for testing
For Each myCell In ActiveSheet.Range("a1:a50").Cells
With myCell
Set myCBX = .Parent.CheckBoxes.Add _
(Top:=.Top, Width:=.Width, _
Left:=.Left, Height:=.Height)
With myCBX
.LinkedCell = myCell.Address(external:=True)
.Caption = "" 'or whatever you want
.Name = "CBX_" & myCell.Address(0, 0)
End With
.NumberFormat = ";;;"
End With
Next myCell
End With
End Sub

If you're new to macros, you may want to read David McRitchie's intro at:

I used the cell under the checkbox as the linked cell. But I gave it a custom
format of ;;;. You can see the value in the formula bar, but it looks empty
when you look at the worksheet.
