This is 2019. You can use Mobile App in your Smart Phone to maintain a To Do List or Check List. But think you are in Office and you need to create a dynamic report in Microsoft Excel where a Check Box option should present. Or suppose you need to create a custom Check List before going to Office. You don't need to waste your time further if you found my article here.
What is a Check List?
Check List is a good way to check your step by step process properly to complete the task. It is the best way of every single task to track or monitor that you are going to finish your task successfully.
How to show or activate the Developer Tab?
First of all you need to show or activate the Developer Tab in your Excel. To activate or show the Developer Tab, you need to follow below steps:
Step 1: Click on Customize Quick Access Toolbar drop down icon and Select More Commands...

Step 1: Design the Check List in Excel file as per your requirement. I've designed my Check List as below image. Do not forget that, when you insert Check Box from Developer Tab, then choose Form Controls Check Box. Below image will show you clear instruction.

Step 2: Right Click on each Check Box in D Column and Click on Format Controls.

Step 3: Under Format Control tab type Cell Link as A7. So that, if the Check box marked, then "TRUE" value will appear in A7 cell other wise if the Check box unmarked, then "FALSE" value will appear in A7 cell.
Step 4: By this way set the Cell Link of D8:D11 Check box as A8:A11 one by one.
Step 5: Now in D13 cell, use a IF formula like below, so that, If all 5 values of D7:D11 are marked, then it A7:A11 cell becomes TRUE. That means IF total TRUE value is 5 then all are checked and it will show a status: "All Done". The formula is in D13 cell which is:
=IF(COUNTIF(A7:A11,"TRUE")=5,"All Done","Pending")
This will looks like below image:

Step 6: Select A7:A11 and set Font Color as White. Then Hide the Grid line by Pressing ALT + W + V + G. Finally apply a Conditional Formatting on D13 cell that, If D13 equals to Value "All Done", then Select Fill Color as Green.
By this way you can create a check list and I hope the application of this Check Box will help you to create Dynamic Reports, Dashboard or Forms. This will also increase your Excel skill. Good Luck.
