Excel Tablet Advise

Hello, I'm currently designing a excel spreadsheet for engineers to use within my company.

I've come to a slight problem, so I've come here for some advice.

Currently when an engineer wants to tick a box within the spreadsheet he needs to put a x and a tick appears.

Basically this is time consuming when he needs to tick 50 - 100 boxes and the current tablet I'm using has a song and dance when the keyboard comes up.

So my question is, is there a way of just to pressing the box and a tick appears?

If not fair enough, but any advice on the matter would be really helpful.

(Currently don't have access to the tablet itself, so I don't know what version of excel its running on. I'll be finding out tomorrow/Monday but I believe its 2016)

Cheers for reading.
