In the last post, we set up a To Do list with check boxes. Each check box is linked to a cell that’s 2 columns to the right, and we used a macro to set that up quickly. Now we’ll add code so we can click a check box to run a macro.
Click a Check Box to Run a Macro
Here is the To Do list. The check box in column B is linked to the cell in the same row, in column D – Done.
Today, we’ll create a macro that puts today’s date in the Date column, if you check a box in column B.
Create the Date Macro
The macro will be relatively simple.
- We have to figure out where the check box is, when it’s clicked.
- Then, we’ll find the cell that’s two columns to the right.
- In that cell, we’ll enter the current date, if the check box is checked.
- If the check box was cleared, we’ll clear the date cell.
Here is the code, which uses Application.Caller to identify which check box was clicked. If the box is checked, its value is 1, and we’ll put in the date.
Assign the Macro to a Check Box
First, we’ll see how to manually set up the check box so it runs the CheckBoxDate macro.
- Right-click the check box in cell B4, so the pop-up menu appears (if the Move/Copy popup appears, try right-clicking again)
- Click the Assign Macro command
In the list of macros, click CheckBoxDate, then click OK
Test the Date Macro
To test the macro, follow these steps:
- Click away from the check box, to deselect it
- Click the check box, to add a check mark, and the current date should appear in the date column
- Click again, to remove the check mark, and the date cell should be cleared.
Use VBA to Add Macros to All Check Boxes
Instead of manually assigning a macro to each check box, we’ll create a macro that’s similar to the one we used to link all the check boxes to a cell.
In the macro, we’ll set the OnAction property to the date macro name
Run the Add Macros Code
To assign the CheckBoxDate macro to each check box, run the SetCheckBoxesMacro macro.
You won’t see a change on the worksheet, but now each check box has the macro assigned to it.
To test the results, click on any one of the check boxes, and the Date cell in that row should change.
Download the Sample File
To see all the code, and the To Do list with check boxes, you can download the sample file from my Contextures website.
On the Sample Files page, go to the UserForms and VBA section, and look for UF0024 – Click Check Box to Run Macro
The zipped file is in xlsm format, and contains macros.
