There is a new Excel feature on the insert tab of the ribbon that allows users to put a Check Box on spreadsheets without programming. When will that be included in my updates?
thank you

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
I have the same build V 2311 (build 17029.20028) and my company has restriction on Beta versions. Looks like this has been in Beta about a month, how long usually does make its way to the current version? or is this 'how long is a piece of string' query :-)
I have V 2311 (build 17029.20028) but it is not in the Beta channel.
Another waiting game.
thank you so much for that helpful reply! I appreciate your taking the time to respond. I am not a Beta programme insider, but I have Build 2311 Version 16.0..... and I believe regular users are getting the check box on their ribbon already. I keep running updates to see if I got it. It should be a very useful and exciting upgrade. Beta users got it over 1 month ago!
Thanks again!
When Microsoft roll out a new feature they usually make it available to users on the Beta Insiders Channel first. However not all Beta users receive the feature on Day One. Microsoft pick a random group of Beta users that represents 30-50% of those enrolled in the Beta programme. It's pure luck as to whether you are in that 30-50% or not. After a few weeks it is then rolled out to everyone else on the Beta programme.
I'm on the Beta programme but for the past 2 "big features" - Python and Checkboxes, I have not made the "Day One Cut". In fact I've only just, this week, got the Checkbox feature.
Hope that helps.

I'm using office 365 as well as signed up for insider program.
Still I'm unable to find the checkbox option from Insert Tab.Kindly guide me with finding it
You're not going to find it until it's in the latest, "proper" release.
It's currently not in version 2310.
In the meantime you might like to avail yourself of the options mentioned in my first posting as a possible alternative.
OCT 9, 2023: Article was posted by James Sturms. This feature is available to Beta Channel users running Version 2310 (Build 196924.2000) or later.
Well, I have Version 2311 (Build 17029.20028) and still not available. Very frustrating. It would be really great to be able to know when the new checkbox feature is rolled out.
