Sure, I can help you out with this. Here's how you can create a to-do list in Excel using the `table` feature with checkboxes for tracking completed tasks and a button for clearing completed tasks.

1. Create a header row for your `table` like this:

   | Task   | Due Date | Completed |
   |--------|----------|------------|

2. Enter the tasks, due dates, and completed status in the appropriate columns for each task.

3. Go to the "Data" tab, click on "Tables" dropdown, then select "Create" > "Table/Range". A "Create Table" dialog window will appear, select the range that includes your header row, and click Ok.

4. To create a checkbox just add new columns at the end of the table. Like this,

   | Task                  | Due Date             | Completed |
   |------------------------|---------------------|------------|
   | Buy Bread             | 25/08/2021          | No        |
   | Grocery Long List     | 28/08/2021          | No        |
   | Write Email           | 30/08/2021          | No        |
   | Sleep 8 Hours         | Every Day          | No        |
   | Wake Up Early        | Every Day          | No        |
   | Post saved Data on   | Every Day          | No        |
   | LinkedIn                | __________________| _________|

5. In the checkbox cell, enter the following formula:

   ```=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A2, 'CheckBoxes'!A:B, 2, FALSE), FALSE)```

   Here, 'A2' is the cell for a task for which you want to add a checkbox, 'TableNames' is the range of checkbox table's cells, 'A:B' is the range of cells having checkboxes, and '2' is the result which is either true or false.

   This will return 'True' or 'False' based on the value checked in the 'Checkboxes' table.

6. Create a new checkbox table, and put the 'Task name' in the first column and the second column should have 'TRUE' in all rows.

7. Select all cells of a checkbox table, so if you write any formula in that column its applied on all cells.

8. Place a "Delete" button, and in the click event of this button, run the following code:

   ```Vba//
   Sub ClearCompletedTasks()
       Dim rng As Range
       Set rng = Range("completed").Rows
       For Each row In rng
           If row.Value = True Then
               Set rng = rng.Remove(1)
           End If
       Next
   End Sub

   Private Sub Class_Initialize()
       Dim btnClear As CommandButton
       Set btnClear = Me.buttons("button")
       btnClear.OnAction = "ClearCompletedTasks"
   End Sub
   ```

That's it! Your to-do list should now look and function as shown in the screenshot below:

Creating a to-do list in Excel with checkboxes and a button to clear completed tasks involves several steps. Here's a simplified guide:

1. **Create the To-Do List:**
   - Open a new Excel sheet.
   - In column A, you can list your tasks. For example, you might start in cell A2 and list your tasks down the column.

2. **Add Checkboxes:**
   - Go to the Developer tab. If it's not visible, you can enable it by right-clicking anywhere on the ribbon > Customize the Ribbon > check the Developer box > OK.
   - Click on the Developer tab > Insert > Form Controls > Check Box.
   - Draw the checkbox in the cell where you want it. You can then copy and paste this checkbox into other cells if you need more.
   - Right-click on the checkbox > Format Control > Control tab. In the "Cell link" box, input the address of the cell where you want the checkbox result to appear (e.g., B2). Click OK. When the checkbox is checked, the linked cell will show TRUE; when it's unchecked, it will show FALSE.

3. **Create a Button to Clear Completed Tasks:**
   - Go to Developer tab > Insert > Form Controls > Button.
   - Draw the button at the bottom of your list.
   - A "Assign Macro" dialog box will appear. Click "New".
   - In the VBA editor, input the following code:

```vba
Sub ClearCompletedTasks()
    Dim rng As Range
    For Each rng In Range("B2:B" & Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row)
        If rng.Value = True Then
            rng.EntireRow.Delete
        End If
    Next rng
End Sub
```
   - This code assumes that your checkboxes are linked to column B and that your tasks start from row 2. Adjust as necessary.
   - Close the VBA editor. Your button is now linked to this macro.

4. **Ordering the Tasks:**
   - Excel doesn't inherently support an "ordered" task list like a word processor might. However, you can manually number your tasks in a separate column (e.g., column C), and then sort your list by that column.
   - To sort, select your data > Data tab > Sort & Filter group > Sort A to Z or Sort Z to A. Choose "Sort by" as the column with your numbers.
