Check Box function not working
For some reason today I am unable to get a check box to work in a new sheet or even add one to an existing sheet.If I create a column and select "Check box" in the column properties, the empty check box doesn't appear. If I add a "1" to the cell then the "checked" check box appears.Any sheets I have with existing check boxes are working fine but I just can't get this to work in new sheets.
Strange problem anyone got any suggestions

Strange!
Make sure that you’ve added information to the Primary Column as well so the row is created.
Did that work?
I hope that helps!
Be safe and have a fantastic weekend!

Well spotted!! I had just created a new sheet and hadn't populated any data into the primary column and I couldn't understand why the check boxes weren't there. As soon as I add data to the primary column all is good. Just one of these Saturday morning moments😁
Thanks for your help and have a great day
