I am pulling check boxes into a spreadsheet to be used to select certain line items to get a final cost. There are a few unneeded check boxes that get pulled in though, probably 5 or so total. I can use macros to get to the specific cells these unneeded check boxes. These unneeded check boxes will not always be in the same place due to my data changing so I will have to delete them one at a time which shouldn't be a problem other than I don't know the code to delete a check box from the active cell. I need a code to delete check box from active cell or selected cell. I have included some of my coding I have tried below. The first section is just getting me to the correct cell to delete the check box out of. The second part are two different codes I have tried to delete the check box but neither worked. I appreciate your input.
'To delete unwanted checkboxes
Sheets("Quote Sheet").Select
Range("B9").Select
Selection.End(xlDown).Select
ActiveCell.Offset(0, -1).Select
ActiveSheet.Shapes.Range(Array("Check Box 456")).Select
Selection.Delete
Selection.Cut
ActiveCell.CheckBoxes.Delete
Selection.FormatConditions.Delete
This code will delete any Excel checkbox located at the active cell.
Sub DeleteCheckbox()
Dim cb As CheckBox
For Each cb In ActiveSheet.CheckBoxes
If cb.TopLeftCell.Address = ActiveCell.Address Then cb.Delete
Next
End Sub
In case you're using ActiveX checkboxes, this code will do the job:
Sub DeleteActiveXCheckbox()
Dim obj As OLEObject
Dim cb As MSForms.CheckBox
For Each obj In ActiveSheet.OLEObjects
If TypeOf obj.Object Is MSForms.CheckBox Then
Set cb = obj.Object
If cb.ShapeRange.Item(1).TopLeftCell.Address = _
ActiveCell.Address Then obj.Delete
End If
Next
End Sub
