Add Checkboxes to excel spreadsheet

Question

I've tried everything! Not sure if I have a really old version, so all the videos I've watched on what to do, doesn't apply to the excel I'm working with. Hope that makes sense! I tried opening, and working on a template with checkboxes already there. Once I added to dropbox folder, the checkboxes were missing! I'm used to working with Numbers, and thought this would be much easier! Please help!!!

Answer 1

Hello!

Thanks for your response! I already tried both of these, and on the version of excel I have, it doesn't show Customize Ribbon (after options), or Popular (after excel options). This is why I'm having such a difficult time. I don't know what to do at this point!

• In Excel 2010 and subsequent versions, click File > Options > Customize Ribbon , select the Developer check box, and click OK.
• In Excel 2007, click the Microsoft Office button  > Excel Options > Popular > Show Developer tab in the Ribbon.
