Hi,
the video is great but I am missing one point: Is there any way to create this checkbox automtically in case I add an additional order?
In my case I don't know the amount of orders but want to have a checkbox as soon as an additional one is created.

Great tip, thanks. It works well on my personal computer. However, at work, we are still on Excel 2016 (upgrades take a long time in State Government 😊) Is there a similar way to do this in Excel 2016?

Additional Tip:
Maybe add extra (color) format to show if you can check/uncheck the checkbox (kind of a legend:).
Then it is more clear for the user.
