    How to make a non-macro button/checkbox that when clicked will copy value out of that cell

    What I have is cell a1, a2, and a3 that all have a different shade of red and each cell has a value set to it:

    A1 = 1325
    A2 = 1327
    A3 = 1329

    Cell B1 is blank.

    I would like to be able to click on one of the colored cells and copy that value to B1. I cannot use macros.

    Help please!

    Thanks in advance.

    Re: How to make a non-macro button/checkbox that when clicked will copy value out of that

    Here's an idea for you. This one has Radio buttons inline with A1, A2, and A3. These buttons are linked to cell C1. This is because Objects cannot be imbedded into a formula, so you have to use link the buttons to a cell. Cell C1's value is based on which button is selected. The formula is B1 then looks at the linked cell value and then selects the data in column A based on that value.

    The linked cell can be adjusted to somewhere where it won't interfere with your data and also formatted to a white color so it won't be visible on the sheet, but I left it visable so you can see it at work.

    Remember, Record Macro can be your friend for figuring out solutions.
