Check out the new Checkbox in Zoho Sheet

Checkbox, the simple GUI widget that lets you choose between two mutually exclusive options i.e Yes or No, is now in Zoho Sheet. Having made it across the web, Checkbox is familiar but is still elusive to most spreadsheet software. Special developer ribbons, macros and all other complexities to add a checkbox to a spreadsheet? Not in Zoho Sheet.

How to add Checkbox to Zoho Sheet?
Adding a Checkbox in Zoho Sheet is simple. Select a cell/range and choose "Checkbox" in "Input Controls" under the Format menu. Spreadsheet users who have visited different forums to learn a workaround for inserting a checkbox in other spreadsheet software can appreciate the ease with which they can do it in Zoho Sheet.



Mouse friendly, Keyboard friendly and User friendly
Check or uncheck a Checkbox with a single click of the mouse. You can do the same with a keyboard in different ways. Use Y/N or T/F or 1/0 or the spacebar to check/uncheck a Checkbox.

Checkbox in a spreadsheet can be useful. Here's why:
When you click a Checkbox, the information can be captured and used, allowing different functions to be built around it. This flexibility makes it a useful feature that can be employed for various functions, based on True/False parameters.

For example, Checkbox feature comes in handy when you need to plan a family trip. Create a checklist and share it with the rest of your family. Add rules to your checklist using Conditional formatting that each item gets struck off the list when someone checks it. You can even see who checked/unchecked the Checkbox under Audit Trail. So collaborate with your family members to make sure you have everything you need for your tour.



Note: Get hands-on experience of the feature here.

Checkbox is the first of Input Controls. So, keep watching this space, we have more Input controls to follow.
