This still only available on the Insider (beta) builds, not the O365 release channel. Many YT are failing to mention that for some reason.
@AussieFaraday20248 ай бұрын
It's only in the BETA release as of February 2024, and when you have any other user without BETA release open the file, the checkboxes say 'true' or 'false'. I know it is exciting to see new features, but this should remain as a 'coming soon' video. I suspect that will 'date' the video and will mean it needs to be uploaded once the feature goes live. It's been in the BETA for months, and we have no idea if it will be released in Feb, March, or even this half of the year. I have waited 12 months for some BETA features to be released in other Microsoft products. Please clearly label this as a Pre Release feature to stop confusing users.

Hi Kevin. Thanks for introducing this function. I'd like to change the color of entire row in a table according to its checkbox, (green if it checked) Any Idea, how I could do it?
@bignorwegian35669 ай бұрын
My ability to add a Checkbox is not under Insert, rather it is in Developer. While it works somewhat the way you explain, not all of functions appear to work; for example, when you changed the color of the box itself or justified it right and left within the cell; all of these options are greyed-out. Also, the Countif doesn't work the way you showed. I'll continue to play around with it, but if the changeover to Developer has modified the ability of the functions, perhaps you could do another video showing these changes. Regardless, great information and it gives us somewhere to start looking by having a basic understanding. Thanks much for the video!!
@clyde._11 ай бұрын
This is cool! Checkboxes have been available in Excel but it was a tedious job to get them related to the correct cell. As an Active-x element. Copying a box would result in multiple boxes that would be related to the same *true/false* cell. To correct this you would have to manually change the related cell for every single box.
@munchems7 ай бұрын
I hated using the checkbox option as an active X element so I found a work around. Used wingdings font and inserted check mark symbol into my column reserved for checkboxes, then changed the font to white. Used a very simple VBA code to change the font to black when I right clicked and back to white (invisible) on another right click. You can also do it on a double click. Can’t wait for this new feature to become available though!

Nov 18 2023: Neither this checkbox feature nor the "Cell Controls" group appear in my insert menu. I updated my MS Excel 365 company account one hour ago, no luck. Rebooted, no luck. How do we get MS to treat us all the same so we get this feature?
