    Thumbs up Need help with linking check boxes

    There must be an easier way to achieve what I've done in the attachment??
    Put a tick in the box which equates to percentage of the complete column.

    It just seems very long winded.
    If this is the best way to complete, where would be best place to position the DATA in the bottom right of the screen?

    I have started to watch some tutorials on YouTube on VBA that looks the way to go, but I've only just started, looks like I have a long way to go to use it confidently.

    Any advice/recommendations welcome.

    Your explanation doesn't make any sense. Can you elaborate as to what exactly you want done?

    Re: Need help with linking check boxes

    Copy of CheckBoxes 2.xlsxCopy of CheckBoxes 2.xlsxApologies for the vague explanation.

    I'm going to use this form to track the progress of students.

    Once a unit is complete I want to use the check box to indicate it's complete but also to auto sum the complete% column.

    I have managed to make the sheet workable by linking the check boxes to the data shown in cells O through to U but it seems very long winded.

    Is there an easier way to produce this form.

    I have more information to include on the sheet but I don't want to ask someone to produce and complete it all for me. I'm trying to understand it myself so I can complete the rest.

    Thanks

    Re: Need help with linking check boxes

    Thanks for this Xlbiznes am I right in thinking this does not use macro?
    How did you get the 1/0 to be represented by the icons?

    Jean-Paul, thanks also. I'm trying to decipher your macro, is there any chance you could explain it in dummy terms.

    Thanks

    @mijam,

    this is through conditional formatting, select one of the cells and then click on conditional formatting icon in the styles group and edit the formula to see how this works.

    There is absolutely no macro used. For your requirement , i think this is apt for you.
