Hi guys!

Having trouble to figure it out how to quickly multiply checboxes who have specific conditional formatting and related cell. I made two checkboxes, first one makes certain cells in a row to color in red, then another checkbox which makes them green. Like is first one is checked job is not done yet, is I thick second one it becomes green as job done.

Now, if I just go to first cell with checkbox and pull it to multiple cells I get multiple checkboxes but they are linked to same cells in first row. What I would like to have checkbox in row 3 linked to cells in same row and not to row 2 from which is "original" checkbox...I hope you understand what I would like to do. Because I need 500 more checkboxes in colomn B and another 500 in colomn C and if I need to do it manully I need to quit my regular job. :P

Excel Facts

Pivot Table Drill Down
Double-click any number in a pivot table to create a new report showing all detail rows that make up that number
Try This
VBA Code:
Sub CreateCheckBox()

Dim i As Long, lngStart As Long, lngTotal As Long
Dim strCol As String, strLink As String

strCol = InputBox("Enter Column", "ENTER CHECKBOX COLUMN")
strLink = InputBox("Enter Link Column", "ENTER LINK COLUMN")
lngStart = InputBox("Enter Starting Row", "ENTER CHECKBOX START LOCATION")
lngTotal = InputBox("How many CheckBox", "ENTER TOTAL CHECKBOX")

For i = lngStart To lngStart + lngTotal - 1
    ActiveSheet.CheckBoxes.Add(Range(strCol & i).Left, Range(strCol & i).Top, 72, 17.25).Select
    With Selection
        .Caption = ""
        .Value = xlOff '
        .LinkedCell = strLink & i
        .Display3DShading = False
    End With
Next

End Sub

Ok great, that worked. However I have second thing to do, can I somehow insert formula for those created checkboxes to "copy" or make certain conditional formatting? I want certain cells in a row to get color when checkbox is TRUE....I did it for first row but want to "multiply" that across all checkboxes...
