Good morning everyone. I am hoping someone might be able to help me with a request. I could not find quite what I was looking for with google searches. What I am looking for is a dropdown list with check boxes. On top of that a function that will tally how many of the checkboxes are checked to be used in a formula in another cell. A brief description of what it will actually be doing for me is as follows. I will have multiple drop down lists with employee names that I will be able to check. In another cell it will count how many employees I have checked in the different drop down lists so I can monitor total hours used.

Thanks much.

How to change case of text in Excel?
Use =UPPER() for upper case, =LOWER() for lower case, and =PROPER() for proper case. PROPER won't capitalize second c in Mccartney
first impression is that you want this to not be some kind of Userform in VBA. If using VBA and Userforms then I can imagine how it could be done but it is not a trivial exercise because it will involve close coordination of multiple Userform controls. If you could mock up a sample workbook and some representative data I might be able to give you some ideas.

Thanks for your quick reply vw412. If you see attached screen shot. This is what I was kind of thinking. I tried to get a mockup with the dropdown list with checkboxes working but I appear to have trouble with that as well. What I am trying to achieve is cells F2:I2 would be labeled as "Employee(s) #" where I could click then a dropdown list would appear with employee names. Then I could check each employee from that list. Then it would tally how many total employees from F2:I2 multiplied by C2*8 to give me manhours used in J2.

Sorry if I am not giving enough information. If there is something else I can provide please let me know. Also when I was trying to make the dropdown checklist it took me into VBA I believe. I copied some code and pasted it after trying to assign a macro to the cell I was going to use as a button. As far as userforms I'm unclear what that entails.
