Check Box Column Property Not Working

Cara Imperato

I feel silly asking such a basic question, but it's got me stumped.

 

Normally, under Column Properties, when I select Check Box, a box appears in the column as it should. However, no matter how many times I've tried, no boxes appear. It seems to remain as a Text/Number. Has anyone run into this? Thanks!

I've run into this before when I added new rows to a sheet and everything in the new row was blank. When you add something to one of the columns in the new row the checkbox will appear.

Oh my goodness! Thanks so much. I thought I was losing my mind!

Jim is correct, if there is not data in the row, you wont see the checkbox. You could still click in the checkbox cell, type 1, then press enter to check the box.

I have three columns that I want my participants to check the box next to the answer that applies to the questions. I get the boxes but how do I add the label next to the box. Tried everything and nothing is working

I thought I was going crazy too!  As soon as I typed something in the row, the box appeared!  Magical! lol  I never noticed this before.  Thank you Jim!
