How to create the Check List in Excel?

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:

Image 7: Formatting of Check List

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.
