Very frustrating that the video does not make it clear that this checkbox is currently only available to Excel BETA users. Like many others, I had to search the comments to find out why it is not visible on my ribbon.
Same.
Thank you, I was going mad trying to find it. There is a way to add it by adding the "Developer" tab under Ribbon Customization.
@@fartboobs I signed up for the Microsoft 365 Insider after I posted above (1 month ago) expecting to see the Checkbox appear in my menu. Frustratingly, it still does not! The Checkbox that appears under the Developer menu (Form Controls) is a different Checkbox altogether.
Thank you very much if not we would have wasted lots of time.
I was curious why I could not find this feature
Thanks 👍
I know about your channel yesterday and I've gained a lot. I've followed you on all social media. You're doing a great job.
Great tutorial on this subject 👌
Thank You so Much!!! such A great video!!!
You are a great instructor! Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Very much useful
Thank you Sir
Nice Examples, Thanks
I found out that this feature is only available for BETA users on the Insiders list. I can't wait until it's available for all MS 365 Excel users
Thanks for clarifying that. I dont have it in my excel and I was wondering what I am doing wrong.
That's why i cannot find it on my Excel. Tx.
Great new feature. Even better video! Kevin your are a natural 👍👍
Great tutorial❤️
Thank you, Kevin!
0:17 that small touch of Referance is great
Thank you this is helpful! Is there a simple way to moved "checked" rows to another sheet for historical data tracking and leave unchecked rows on the current sheet?
Where has this check mark been all my life? I really could have used it back when was working at my job!!! Now I'm retired. I still try to use it now working with excel sheets at home. Thanks for video!!!
I still can't find it and i have th emost up to date version of excel I don't understand what I'm doing wrong
@@darth_lopez532 This feature is still not available to everyone
@@darth_lopez532 SAME!!!
Hey just ‘checking in’…great video! Thanks! The last couple seconds cracked me up😂 keep up the good work. Love your videos
Good stuff as always, just what I was looking for! Though I have to manually add Checkbox to the ribbon.
Awesome thank you
Great video
With this function, we check about stocks in a shop
THANKS ALOT BRO
Great Video, wish there was a way to turn an excel sheet into an app. Viewing on a phone is okay, but there has to be a cleaner way to make it into an app for dynamic calculations
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.
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!
thanks for those videos, they are not about you just yapping but also somewhat fun aswell as enjoyable to watch. 😄
Very nice function to have and an amazing introduction!! Thank you! I cannot find 'checkbox' in Mac's excel(the latest one). Is it it yet to be available on Mac?
Hi Kevin, really interesting option well explained. I have Office 365, fully updated, but NO check box icon visible on the ribbon under the Insert Tab ? Any suggestions.
same :/
same?? it would be very useful though
Yea, I dont see this section anywhere
same, would appreciate your help
This still only available on the Insider (beta) builds, not the O365 release channel. Many YT are failing to mention that for some reason.
Superb mate...checkmate...
Hi Kevin! Great video. How do you get your mouse with the circle that changes color when clicking?
Love it ❤
Thanks man for your videos you make it so easy
No problem 👍
I may have checked this video late but really brilliant and helpful.
Oh, Man. Thanks for your kind effort
Amazing 😊
Would you do a tutorial on importing dates from excel into outlook calendar?
Great job Kev,Dubai
Kevin, great information as always. Have an interesting question for you. If I'm doing a money spread sheet for financial home use, once I'm done doing the first draft, and then go back in a month later and change a bunch of the money entries, could someone go into that spreadsheet and find what the first entries were deleted? Once it's written over it's gone for good?
I have enjoyed using Checkboxes in Google Sheets for a good while now. Glad to see it rolling out to Excel.
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.
Thanks
This new checklist looks cool. Unfortunately, Korea version of MS 365 didn't update so far.
Thank you for sharing the above tutorial video. I couldn't find the "Checkbox" button under the "Insert" tab. Is there anything that I should do to populate?
Kevin, I have an issue with clipchamp. When I add the text box to the timeline, it's so tiny, it will not let me drag it out for length, images seems to have the same issue, is there a trick to be able to grab these to "Drag" them? Thank you
The check puns killed me 🤣
Hi There. Is it possible to use theese checkboxes on a table so that when a new row is added to the table, a new checkbox is created on each cell in the columns with checkboxes? Tks
Hi@KevinStravert I apologize for being off-topic I just want to inquire about MCSD. I understand that these have been retired since June 2021, so I wanted know if there's an alternative for MCSD that I can take that's the same as MCSD? I'm hoping you see this and thank you
Thank you. Is there a way to add two checkboxes to one cell? For example if it is a YES or No situation.
By default... that is what a checkbox is. TRUE or FALSE, or... Yes or No. If you used two to indicate yes or no.... and someone checks one of the boxes... it would always be "TRUE" no matter what they picked.
Great sir🎉 please make a tutorial video for Dash board making
thanks Kevin..
great vid... ya know, a slow old guy like me will have to watch several times... ;)
I don’t have these check box in insert in my office 365. Do I need to add any setting
You need the beta channel for 365 and Windows
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?
Me too, I dont see it
YOU NEED Office 365, beta channel for 365, and Windows
Can your tutorials concerning Excel work on any Microsoft Office by that I mean the year? would be helpful if anyone replies
This video was great! Thanks, like checked, kkk
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!!
Is it only Office (Excel) 365 that offers the new checkbox feature? I cannot find it in the newest update of Office Home and Student.
It is only avaliable to MS 365 Windows Users & people with beta channel on MS 365.
Office Home and Student is a 1 time subscription.
Do we know when this insert checkbox feature will be available?
Great video. I'd like to use those checkboxes, but somehow I don't have them. Do I have to somehow activate them?
It's only in beta testing right now, not everyone has it. I don't see it in my Excel files either.
If you add developer to your ribbon and select insert in the developer it has a checkbox option

You need MS 365 Beta Channel + Windows
Hi Kevin. I am designing a double elimination bracket sheet in excel. I am trying to use a check box function to advance the winner into the next bracket. Out of two possible choices, only one of the two advances to the next bracket (cell). Is there a way for two separate check boxes to control the results of the same cell? If so, what is the procedure?
that was... cute...😊🙃
Mac Aroon has a crumbly attitude... Thanks for video.
wow fantastica, will be avaible for microsoft excel for mac too?
Don't know yet
Is it possible to use the check buttons as a radio option? So that checking one button, unchecks the other buttons in the group?
If this were a drinking game we’d be in some deep trouble! 😂
Hello Sir
What Version of Office are You using?
Many thanks it’s very helpful specially I’m doing my PhD project. I try it However unfortunately I don’t know why the check box isn’t in the cell! The check box inserted as a shape on top of the cell therefore I can’t do anything with the equations.. could you help please?
Its acting as a image if you don't have the Office 365 Beta Channel with Windows
I primarily want to learn how to add checkbox option/ function in excel ribbon or qat even after uusing office 365 subscription
I like the names of your staff.
I guess the checkbox is not available to everyone yet. I have Office 365, but this is not an option (excel is fully updated).
Same here
I have the same issue.
me too and have most recent version/build 2311
Same 😢
It is currently in Beta for Windows Users only
When will this be live for all users?
WHEN THEY ARE done testing and released for mac soon??
Hay Kevin, how do I download the work book?
Any way to show just inbox on multiple email accounts in outlook 365?
I have Office 365, m located in the US, but do not have that feature. Any thoughts about what I might be missing to get this feature added in?
when will this be available on Mac and on current channel for windows? @KevinStratvert
When its done Beta Testing? Don't know if it will be released for mac
Does anyone know what version of excel he is using? I don't have that feature in MS 365 in the Insert ribbon. Or is this a customization Ribbon that needs to be turned on? All the Check Box Options in the "Customize Ribbon" Menu are "Check Box ActiveX Control" and "Check Box Form Control" in the developer ribbon which only allows me to draw in a Check Box and have less functionality that the one demonstrated in the video.
I also am using M365/O365 and do not have this feature. My guess is that there is something related to the different products offered in this space (or at least that's been my experience in the past with things like this).
Can you paste format into cells that already have True/False text in it?
Is this question above unclear?
Well done; now I'll CHECK it out for myself. You definitely CHECKED ALL THE BOXES on this topic.
🤣
@@KevinStratvert Now, if I could only master automated data importation from a published website (like stock quotes) into my Excel spreadsheet. I did it a couple of times but can't seem to recreate it....old age kicking in.
I just want to comment that I love your cookie names!! ❤
Hi, Mr., Kevin, I highly apricate this video. It is amazing. I could not see check box in my excel "INSERT window" , I mean there is not. can you help me please?
Its for beta users only with MS 365
and Windows
I am using office 2021 professional plus. I have the check box on the ribbon. But it does have any functionality. Just a symbol type thing. Do I have to activate this functionality of the check box the way you have explained. Thanks for your help - Pathik Mitra
Office 2021 doesen't have Insider. Only MS 365 has Insider.
Please make video on DOMO.
Can't find it in my company laptop's excel even though I have MS365 on it.
This article has more information about the feature roll out: insider.microsoft365.com/en-us/blog/simplify-data-entry-and-reduce-errors-with-checkboxes-in-cells You can always opt into the Microsoft 365 Insider program here to get access to features like this early: insider.microsoft365.com/en-us/join/windows
Work Or School accounts has no Insider since the subscription is 365 Apps for enterprise or business
so checkboxes isn't available in the ribbon to the regualar excel users yet?
Hey Kevin, is this Microsoft 365? I didn't get any such option on my Office 2021.

Hi ... I would love to use checkboxes - but that feature has not yet appeared in my Excel (Desktop - Danish - ver. 2310). Do you know which Excel version the feature came in?
It is for Windows users only, 365 users on the Beta Channel
When will this feature be added for the Mac version of Excel?
They just rolled it out for Windows Users (with Insider Beta for MS 365) maybe to test it? And later they may add this function to Mac when its public

How did you or do you learn so much in IT?
This new checkbox tool doesn't show on my Excel. I've also olso my app but can't see it.
Beta Channcel with Windows
how do I get this checkbox while it is different from the checkbox in developer?
Hi, i do the checkbox for student’s attendance. How to protect / locked the checkbox of the student’s attendance so i dont accidently remove
Hello, Kevin, I didn't find checkbox from insert channel function. After comment if Text box. thanks for your help.
I tried to extract checkbox from data ribbon, but it doesn't as good as you showed to us.
I'm in insider current channel (preview) and there's no checkbox in insert menu.. is it on beta only?
There is any keyboard shortcut?
Hi Kevin, I have a licensed office 365, this icon is not available under the insert tab? any clues?
Thanks for the video but in my 365 office, I do have the Checkbox tab but not the command. Please, what should I do?
Its for 365 Users only with Windows and Have the 365 Beta Channel
No checkbox is available for me, even if I have Office 365. Is it available for only some countries?
Its because you don't have Insider Beta Channel.
You also need Windows
Hmmm, I have Microsoft 365 and no checkbox option. What to do?
To- ribbon needs Developer activated or it isn’t an option
Same here. Looking for the checkbox control "outside" of the Developer tool.
Same.
@@CTTH100 why? Just activate Developer (you don’t have to be a developer)
@jeannedarc1566 Because I'm curious how to get to the new feature without going to the Dev tab.
I am using Office 365 but do not see the checkbox in the Insert Menu Ribbon. I assume this is different from the Developer Checkbox. How to get the checkbox in the first place?
i am on ms 365. no just new option. may be on the way ?
Hey there, you need to have Insider Beta with Windows
are you in anyway related to NPH?
The "Cell Control" and checkbox feature was not displaying on the Ribbon. I added the "Cell Control", but can't seem to find how to add the "Checkbox" ability to it.
Its because you don't have Beta Channel for MS 365 and maybe you have Mac?
