This is a great function, but now I have to individually right click on each checkbox and choose Format Control, then manually set the cell that's linked to the checkbox. Without doing this, the checkboxes inserted by Kutools look pretty, but they're useless for functions.

Hello friend,
Glad to help. You can use the below VBA to link checkboxs to multiple cells:

Sub LinkChecks()
'Update by Extendoffice
i = 2
For Each cb In ActiveSheet.CheckBoxes
cb.LinkedCell = Cells(i, "B").Address
i = i + 1
Next cb
End Sub

Please have a try. Thanks.

Sincerely,
Mandy

To whom it may concern. Is there any way to use the checkbox state in a formula like the if(function). For example, if the check box is checked, place "completed in cell f4. Do I have to manually create a cell link for each checkbox?
