I would provide the process to solve the problem:

1. First find the element with the text (to be searched) on the web page. (in your case its an <a> tag).

My personal suggestion is to use xpath: //a[contains(text(),'<your text from excel>')]

2. Then try to find its sibling input tag with type='checkbox' (either by using following-sibling or preceding-sibling on that <a> tag.

//a[contains(text(),'<your text from excel>')]/following-sibling::input[@type='checkbox']

or

//a[contains(text(),'<your text from excel>')]/preceding-sibling::input[@type='checkbox']
