Checkboxes within a list

N

Neel

I have a list that I created through Data Validation. However, in the
list offered, people should be able to choose multiple responses. Is
there way to include checkboxes in my data validation list? Or, better
yet, is there a smarter, easier way to do this?

Thanks in advance,

Neel.

DV can't be used in this fashion, it is more like a Combobox, so to speak.

I think what you are after is a Listbox which can be created using
Xl2010 - Developer | Insert | Form Controls

As for coding it, I can't help you with that part as it goes beyond my
level of experience and I'm not 100% sure if it is Multi-Select capable
although one of the other many guru contributors many help shed some
more light on it for you.

Mick,
Both ComboBox and ListBox controls can bet set to MultiSelect, and can
display checkboxes. The issue I see here is how will the OP handle the
selections?

Thanks Mick ... Any gurus out there? I managed to set up the listbox
but I can't figure out how to record the data that someone selects.
