Getting the Cell Address of a Ticked Checkbox in Excel VBA

If you're working with Excel VBA and you've encountered the need to identify the cell address of a checkbox when it's ticked, you're in the right place! Many users want to know the specific location of their checkbox on the spreadsheet, but getting that information can be tricky. In this guide, we will walk you through an effective solution to achieve this goal.

The Problem

You've likely noticed that using simple VBA code can yield the addresses of all checkboxes within a worksheet. However, the challenge arises when you only want the address of the checkbox that is currently checked or ticked. Understanding how to pinpoint that single address can enhance your Excel functionality and streamline your workflow.

The Solution

We can solve this problem with a couple of simple VBA macros. Here’s how:

Step 1: Creating the Cell Address Function

First, we need to create a function that will display the address of the checkbox when it’s ticked. You can copy the code below into a standard module in your VBA editor:

Explanation:

ActiveSheet.Shapes(Application.Caller): This part identifies which checkbox triggered the macro.

.TopLeftCell.Address: This provides the address of the cell where the checkbox is located.

Step 2: Assign the Macro to Checkboxes

Next, we need to ensure each checkbox on your sheet can call this macro. Use the following code to traverse through all shapes in the active sheet:

Explanation:

This code iterates through every shape on the active sheet.

It checks if the shape is a checkbox and assigns the GetChkBoxAddress macro to it.

Step 3: Testing the Macros

Now, it's time to put your code to the test. Simply follow these steps:

Run the textAssignMacroChkBox macro once to assign the action to all checkboxes.

Check and uncheck different checkboxes on your spreadsheet. A message box should display the cell address of the corresponding checkbox when you tick it.

Adapting the Macro for Checking Only

If you wish to retrieve the cell address only when a checkbox is checked (not when it is unchecked), you can adapt the first macro like this:

Explanation:

This revised code includes a condition that checks if the checkbox is checked (indicated by a value of 1). It will only show the address if the checkbox is ticked.

Conclusion

With these simple steps, you can easily get the cell address of a checkbox when it is ticked in Excel VBA. This functionality can be especially beneficial in scenarios where the position of UI elements like checkboxes directly influences your data management or reporting in Excel.

Feel free to customize the macros further to fit your specific needs, and enjoy enhancing your Excel VBA skills!
