Beginner - Click a checkbox then calculation to be done automatically
 

Hi all,

I'm a beginner to excel ... would anyone please give me some help?

I have added in two checkboxes on a sheet and if the user clicks
checkbox 1, then cell C10 will show the answer of cell B5*5%.

If the user clicks checkbox 2, then cell C10 will show "0" (zero).

Thank you very much in advance.

Since you're using checkboxes, what happens if both are checked.

It kind of sounds like you could use a single checkbox and just look to see if
it's checked or not checked.

I'd use a linked cell. How you do this depends on which checkbox you used --
the checkbox from the Forms toolbar or the checkbox from the control toolbox
toolbar.

Then you can use that linked cell in a formula in C10. If x99 is the cell you
used, the formula in C10 may look like:

=if(x99=true,b5*5%,0)

If the options are mutually exclusive, this could work ok.

ps. If you have follow-up questions, please include the version of excel you're
using. It could help with the details.
