i am trying to implement a multi-select dropdown list in excel, refer below for the image
As you can see, it is part implemented, but as it is not intuitive, I would like to have a checkbox in place of the dropdown where the 3 options - APR, LEASE and CASH exists. Thanks in advance to anybody who can help me out with this.
Instead of using in-cell dropdown use an Active-X List Box, set MultiSelect to fmMultiSelectMulti and ListStyle to fmListStyleOption.

For the purpose of building an Excel survey form, I want to create an easy rating entry system that would set values in cells based on a single click on a rating object (form control). With this click on say a 5-stars object it would return a value (from 1 to 5) based on which star is clicked (0 if not clicked), value that would be stored in a linked cell. The form should have such 5-stars objects next to a list of questions.
Using Excel built-in controls would limit option to the spin button, which isn't as convenient.
I haven't found any other suitable controls, nor ActiveX (which would make it more difficult to share the sheet).
Thanks for your insights on how I can achieve this.
If you are willing to digress from your wish to have stars as buttons, the excel form controls seem to be more than able of what you are looking for. You could use Option Buttons to achieve something like this:

I'm curious if it's possible in VBA excel to have a popup checkbox that will filter results. As an example a popup box (similar to an input box) comes up with several choices you can "check" that will then cause it to filter a specific column with just the items you checked.
Also I should mention this is something I plan to use in connection with a macro I'm running to help automate the filtering process. So I cannot just setup a checkbox on the spreadsheet itself. I'd need it to be an actual pop-up.
I'm not very versed with check boxes or their use in VBA so I'm not sure if this is possible or not. Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!

I'm developing an application with VBA in Excel 2013. I have a ListBox with items and I want to give each item a specific color depending on a criteria, I searched on the net but it says that it is impossible to do so, is that true?
I tried to use the listview (Microsoft ListView Control) but it doesn't show on the extra controls in the userform.
Does anyone know how to do give each item a specific color depending on a criterion using a Listbox if possible?
You cannot change the colour of individual items in an Excel listbox.
There are alternative ways you can achieve a similar result:
Use the ActiveX ListView control like examples here or here or here.
You can dynamically create an HTML Table and display that in a web browser control.
You can manipulate Excel cells to look and act like a listbox.
Your best best might be the ListView control but it could take some fancy footwork.
More Information:

If you want to customize a ListBox in a UserForm, then you may use this DesignListBox

It allows you to change any color, FontSize or Style.
Is it possible for excel to prevent the drop down toggle on a cell which has data validation? I am wanting the data validation to apply, but i would prefer the drop down button to not appear.
The reason for this, is the user is not having to choose a value, instead they handheld scan their ID badge.
I have searched everywhere and cannot find a solution.
Thanks in advance.
You just need to uncheck the In-Cell Drop-down checkbox.
Is there a way I can create a dropdown list in Excel 2010 which has checkboxes, so that I can select multiple items from the dropdown ?
Make it a listbox and set the MultiSelect parameter to fmMultiSelectExtended or fmMultiSelectMulti. It won't be a dropdown, but it's your best bet.
