Default Checkbox values?

I would like to have a group of checkboxes...where on another part of the
spreadsheet it will give me the value of how many boxes were selected. For
example...I want to have 8 checkboxes labeled "water" so I can keep track of
how many glasses I drank...then as I click a box, the total appears such as
"6".
TIA

Default Checkbox values?

Arrange the checkboxes neatly. Then double-click each one of them
(format checkbox) and specify a Linked Cell. Make sure all your linked
cells are in the same column, e.g. in E1:E8.

Then you can use the following:
=SUMPRODUCT(--E1:E8)

This will show you the number of checked boxes.
