[Excel] Turning Cells into Checkboxes
I'm having a big problem with Excel. Every month I send out spreadsheets to other departments of thousands of charges for approval. As they repeatedly mangle the spreadsheet before sending it back to me, I would like to send it password protected. I would like to add a column of checkboxes (one for each of the thousands of cells) that the department can click on to signify the individual line is approved. I cannot figure out how to do this, as the checkbox that Excel has offered up in the Developer tab is ungainly to use. Is there a way to turn an entire column into check boxes that can also be filtered for?

Re: [Excel] Turning Cells into Checkboxes
Thanks for your help. That's a solution that I considered, the only problem is if I give them an inch with the spreadsheet, they'll take a mile. Soon people would start typing entire epics into that space I leave unprotected if they determine that it's just a regular text box.

You could simply have them place a 1 or 0 in the last column to signify its an approved row or not.
