Questionnaire sheet: Select "yes" or "no," and only one can be selected
Hello, I have a questionnaire on an Excel spreadsheet with 20 yes/no questions. What is the best way to create a spreadsheet with the option of a "yes" or "no" box that can be checked one or the other exclusively? For example: Are you God? No But not: Are you God? Yes No It needs to be set up so either "yes" or "no" is possible to mark, not both. Many thanks for any hints. -- bpatterson ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpatterson's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=33478 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=532795 |

Hi!
One way would be to use a data validation drop down list with the selections of either Yes or No. Biff "bpatterson" wrote in message ...

I have a questionnaire on an Excel spreadsheet with 20 yes/no
questions. What is the best way to create a spreadsheet with the option of a "yes" or "no" box that can be checked one or the other exclusively? One easy way is to use data validation. The user sees a pull-down list for each question -- not a check box -- so it’s not exactly what you asked for. Select the cells where answers should go and use: Data Validation In the “Settings” tab, choose Allow List For the “Source” put Yes,No If you want to get more elaborate, fill in the “Input Message” and “Error Alert” tabs too. Note: using “Error Alert” you can stop the user from typing in an erroneous value but you can’t stop the user from pasting one in. |
