Data collection in Excel2003
Hi everybody,
I created an evaluation form some time ago in Excel 2003. Originally it was sent out to people after they had completed their training. It went out to about 5-6 people so gathering the information was not a very huge task. Now the form has been sent out to over a hundred people and I need to come up with something easier to capture the data. I used Forms-check boxes to answer the questions, then I had a comments area beside each question and I used the Forms-Text Box with a scroll bar. I am asking, is there an easier way to collect this data? Cheers Lynda

Data collection in Excel2003
Hi Linda
Maybe this can help: Each Check Box can be link to a cell, that will give you a "True" /" False" reply that you can count. To link them, right click on the CheckBox and Format Control, then look under the Control Tab. HTH John "Lynda" wrote in message ...

Hi
Each Check Box can be link to a cell, that will give you a "True" /" False" reply that you can count. I should have said; " That you can use a formula to count the "True" and "False" eg: =COUNTIF(A2:A50,"True") Regards John "John" wrote in message ...

Data collection in Excel2003
Thank you John. I realised after you posted your response that I had asked
basically the same question a couple of years ago. My problem now is that for some reason when I go to the text box and then to properties it opens the properties box but it is totally blank. Can you help me with this also? "John" wrote: Hi Each Check Box can be link to a cell, that will give you a "True" /" False" reply that you can count.
