    I love how mail merge has evolved since I first used it 20 years ago. It's so much easier now. Another column header I *often* used for my boss was something personal within the letter for a specific individual (i.e., I enjoyed our golf game -- bla bla bla). Now retired I still use MM for my Christmas letters. LOL Love the way you explain, especially Excel... always learning something new.

    This was an excellent video that clearly and quickly explained this (in my opinion unnecessarily) complicated Excel process. I would greatly appreciate the conditional formatting/if tutorials. Thanks so much! (Is anyone else shocked that checkboxes aren't available in Excel when they are just standard automatic insert/true-false features in Google Sheets and Mac Numbers??)

    If you just need a simple yes/no checkmark you could change the font to marlette for that column and simply type the lower case 'a' which gives a checkmark. You can then use that letter for any needed additional structs or conditional formatting or ???. No messy additional changes to a fussy form tool.

    Nice vid and thanks for posting! Its been a while since you posted this, but in case you haven't figured this out yet - at 7:15 when you're editing each cell that shows $G$2, you can edit this to $G2 and drag it down over the below cells. $G$2 will always lock to that exact cell, whereas $G2 will lock to the column, and G$2 will lock to the row. You can easily amend this by pressing F4, and it will cycle between each lock type. :)

    • @h82fail
      @h82fail 2 роки тому

      This works for you? I can set cell link to G2, $G2 etc and when I autofill they are still all the same - all check the same and are linked to that single cell. Came to this video hoping there was another trick he was going to show and am disappointed that you really have to manually set all the cell links or use a macro? Seems stupid, google sheets works with check boxes without all the bs.
      Other oddness: if I autofill, then change the top checkbox and autofill again - the lower cells autofilled will have checkboxes over checkboxes - it doesn't replace the old ones it just adds a new one over the old ones. So I guess you should delete the old ones first then right - selecting the cells and hitting delete doesn't remove them. Right clicking to select them, and hitting delete still doesn't remove them for me?! The only way to remove a checkbox I found is to right click to select it, and then hit cut?? Why does excel handle check boxes so poorly.

    Hello, Great video thanks for making it.
    I do have a question, when inputing data into fields and I come to the check box, is there a way to make it so spacebar toggles the check box for that field?
    So space checked, space again unchecked, without have to always click the box.
