In this video, I'll introduce you to the brand-new checkboxes in Excel. They're simple and much better than the old ways we used to do things. I'll take you through different ways to use these checkboxes, not just for keeping track of your to-do list. In fact, we'll be creating an interactive Excel dashboard using with the checkboxes.
⬇️ Download the file: pages.xelplus....
Note on availability: The new Excel checkboxes are currently available in Office 365 beta version.
But first, I'll guide you step by step on how to use these checkboxes in Excel. You'll learn how to keep track of your tasks - then you'll learn how count the total number of checkboxes and also how to count the number of checked checkboxes and add it at the top of our Excel sheet. You'll then learn how to combine these checkboxes with formulas for smarter data analysis - I show the combination with the FILTER function in this example - Then you'll learn how to combine the state of the checkbox with conditional formatting, so that you can change the color and formatting of the entire row when an item is checked. Finally, you'll learn how to add a timestamp to a cell when a checkbox is checked. This is great for task and project management.
This video is perfect for beginners and for those who want to discover new features in Excel and also learn some dashboard tricks. I've made sure everything is easy to understand, with no complicated terms - just simple, clear steps that you can follow along.

Thanks Leila. This is an absolute beauty! Well, while practicing this, I used the following for the IFS function from the other side, =IFS(C4=TRUE,NOW(),C4=FALSE,""). This is because I didn't want to turn the iterative calculations. I have used it once on some jobs and it slows the sheet operation down. All the same, thanks a lot for this

It would be nice if they had an "iterate" function so instead of an option that affects the whole workbook, you could control it at the cell level. It might be nice to revisit this to show how you could automatically add and remove items from your list.

With self referencing Lambda you can do something like that

@mohammedhassan2808 9 ай бұрын

yes, we must have "iterate" control depending on our needs, instead of globalization

@FreakAzoiyd 9 ай бұрын

As I said you can do it with Lambda. Create a named lambda function that accepts at least two inputs, your value to be iterated on and an integer that you count down. Do your thing with the value and decrease the counter by 1. Exit when you reach 0 or hit another exit criteria. Modify the values inside the function and let it call itself. Done it with a formula to calculate pipe friction factor (funnily this is the gel letter Lambda in physics) which for the turbulent Colebrook function is iterative.

A simpler method to count checked items. Instead of: =COUNTIF(C5:C13,true) you can write: =SUM(--C5:C13) The double-minus converts TRUE's to 1's. Hope this helps :-)

@Pseudify 9 ай бұрын

If by simpler you mean “sum” is shorter than “countif”, well…okay, but trivial. Otherwise, I would argue that it’s not simpler because the logic is not as obvious. If someone else was reading or debugging this formula they likely would have no idea what was going on. Also, I suspect the run time of your “sum” is longer than the “countif” - but I haven’t tested it. I’d be interested in seeing the results of that. But yeah, this is a nice trick to know.

Two initial thoughts: 1) Check boxes will be very handy for Checklists (obviously) but I personally would prefer to see 'Completed Tasks' as a percentage, i.e. 47% completed (which would be easy to do), 2) several years ago I used check boxes in charts which allowed the viewer to build layers of information one piece at a time rather than blasting 6, 7, or 8 pieces of information at the same time. At the 11:35 mark " ... but stay with me ...". 'Always' ... wouldn't dream of going anywhere else. Thank you ... thank you ... thank you ... 😍😍😍

It is a fancy technique, but allowing iterations throws a lot of undue overload to the CPU and if accidentally used for large worksheets it may cause delay, slow-down, and non-responsive sheet sort of problems. But, to impress someone for a little while, it is a good change of mood technique. With all the above criticism, the overall presentation of the video is good and some new information about the check-box is also useful. That's why I always recommend this channel for beginners and professionals who have problems with Excel so that they can easily understand and apply the technique in their work.

It was about time for XLS to catch up with SmartSheets with this feature. Great video !!

Can you do a video showing how iterative calculations actually work? Thanks.

This is the best and most exciting Excel tutorial I've seen thus far. I was able to follow all the steps and replicate the results. Now how to apply this newfound knowledge in other situations? Hmmm....

Thanks Leila, Like you, I start to feel in love with CheckBoxes and I have more ideas 😉 You kill me with your last IFS function, I must learn and understand it

Thank you so much for all of your very helpful and professional videos! Any idea when the new checkboxes will roll out to the masses?

Glad you like them! Unfortunately, there is no fixed ETA from Microsoft. As far as I know they're still tweaking the functionality based on user's feedback.

Great video! I don't have it in my version yet but I can think of several use cases. Thanks Leila!

Oh i love this so much... thank you so much!! I wonder if you can show us how to add like a prepare and reviewer ...two tiers of check boxes and once the final reviewer completes the task then the task will be mark off😆

Very cool! I have been using Checkboxes in Google Sheets for a while. Nice to know it's in (or coming) to Excel as well. Great tutorial.

Super instructional video. I do have a problem that maybe you can resolve. I am trying to set up an inventory list of equipment. If the item is in running order then teh check box would turn green and item would be green with a line through it and it will be deleted from the completed list. I wouls also like to seet up another set of check boxes that I can check and it will turn the box red and item name red and add the item to a box that states it is missing or out for repairs. Any help appreciated. Thak you.

@LeilaGharani, Thank you for this video. I was able to apply the timestamp trick you showed in the video and it worked!!!!! At first, I did it differently and each time I clicked the checkbox the whole time updated. But when I applied your method and applied iterative calculation check on it, it worked. Thank you, again.

Also, I was able to combine this checkbox on task done to my dynamic excel calendar. I have a separate sheet with tasks and dates (DDD, DD-MM-YYYY). I have another sheet in the same workbook where I did a monthly calendar with a conditional Formatting highlighting Today's date which changes dynamically each day. Beside the calendar I have a task list comprising of 10 tasks, a checkbox for completion, and a timestamp. I used the filter function to select tasks for the day from the task sheet to the calendar sheet and I tick them off when done. Thank you once again for your lectures.

This could be super-useful. I can finally introduce something to our organization that I've been hoping to implement for years! I have two question: (1) If the checkbox is unchecked and re-checked, does the timestamp refresh? (2) Is it possible for the timestamp (or an adjacent cell) to indicate the name or initials of the person who checked the box?

checkboxes? ... cute! .... but the real gem here is the automatic, permanent Timestamping!!! I have been trying to solve this for everrr (like 20 years) ... thanx so much Leila, this solves a problem for my team that has been a headache for a long long time!💕
