Place Check Mark In Cell

JohnDrew · Aug 21st 2007

I inserted a check mark and tried to us a vertical lookup and post the check mark

All I get is a horseshoe looking character. When I do reference to the cell I get the same symbol.

What I trying to do is to place a check mark by the items which have been approved.

I know I could do it with an "X" or a color, but top management wants a check symbol.

I am using Excel 2007

Hi John

It will depend on what font is being applied to the cell in which the you wish the check mark to appear - you will have to experiment with which fonts produce the appearance you desire.

lower case a in Marlett
upper case P in winddings2

But as Richard says it depends on the font you are using.
