I have checkboxes from the forms toolbar in Column A linked to
corresponding Cells in Column B.


I have this formula in the corresponding cell in Column E
=IF($B2,"Computer 1","")
So when checkbox A2 is checked it displays "Computer 1" in Cell E2


I have this formula in the corresponding cell in Column F
=IF($B2,I2,"")
So when checkbox A2 is checked it displays the value in Cell I2.


What I'd like to accomplish is to have a way to select the heading for
Column I, J, K, L or M so that all the formulas in column F would
change based on that selection.


i.e. The formulas in Column F would change to
=IF($B2,I2,"") * *'If column I was selected
=IF($B2,J2,"") * 'If column J was selected
=IF($B2,K2,"") * 'If column K was selected
=IF($B2,L2,"") * 'If column L was selected
=IF($B2,M2,"") *'If column M was selected


What I am currently doing is changing the formula in Cell F and
dragging it down to replace all the other formulas.


A macro to change the formulas would be much easier.


Thanks,
Ephraim


How can I change this so that the formula starts at F2 instead of F1.
As it currently is this macro replaces the label I have in F1.
Otherwise this is exactly as I had wanted.
Thank you.
