 * I imported an already formatted table as CSV file but the checkbox cells that
   I need are not recognized… How can I set some cells to be showed as checkbox?

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * The CSV format can only be used for importing/exporting the data of a table, 
   but not the styling.
    Also, TablePress will import everything that is in the 
   file and not strip code from it. It is therefore likely that the checkboxes already
   got lost when creating that CSV file (from whatever application created it).
 * To have clickable checkboxes, you could insert HTML code like
 *     ```
       <input type="checkbox" />
       ```
   
 * into the cells. If you don’t need them to be clickable, you can simply use small
   images.
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Hi,
 * I need to make a selection (filter) of the rows with checked box.
    Also I need
   to summarize of numerical data for some column in filter.
 * Is it possible with TablePress?

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question and sorry for the trouble!
 * Unfortunately, I’m not aware of an existing solution to that, sorry. 🙁 You will
   need to find or develop some custom code, probably in JavaScript, to achieve 
   this.
 * Regards,
    Tobias
