    Automatically insert text if a box is selected.

    Automatically insert text if a box is selected.
    I have a spreadsheet action plan with required procedures should a box be ticked. Is there a way to automatically insert the procedures elsewhere on the spreadsheet if I 'tick' a box for that required action.
    I am trying to cut down on man hours, flipping between sheets and using the copy/paste functions.

    Many thanks.

    Re: Automatically insert text if a box is selected.

    Hi,

    Thanks for your reply. The example sheet I have attached is vague I am afraid due to customer confidentiality.

    At the moment I have customer data surveys that require an action depending on the answer.

    I am continually using 'copy and paste' to paste in the action for the relevant answer.

    Is there an easier way to do this or am I looking at another program?

    Cheers.

    Sorry.. I am still not getting what you want to achieve.
    I believe you have data as you shown in column A,B,C and your expected results would be data in column F,G,H.. correct?
    I can see you transposed the data in column F & G but from where you got data in column H?

    You would require as many tick boxes as there actions. A better way would be to use a list box containing all the actions and a command button which would act on the selected listbox item selected using Select Case...End Case on either the item string or item index.
    By the by, are you a night hawk or do you work shifts?

    Thanks for the replies. IGEDIT has the idea of what I want to do.

    I want to produce 1 form, which displays the actions I highlight in another workbook.

    " A better way would be to use a list box containing all the actions and a command button which would act on the selected listbox item selected using Select Case...End Case on either the item string or item index."

    Is there any where with decent instructions I can follow?
    I am not as up to speed as yourself!

    Not a nighthawk or a worker of shifts. Are you referring to my time of posts? Live in the UK.

    Thanks for all the help.
