Tick marks

[ofey]

Hi,

I am looking to use a tick mark and an X for incorrect in a cell. I
can't find either in Excel. Does anyone know how I might go about
getting them?

I'm basically writing a simple maths work sheet. With something such as


2+3=

Each of the characters is in a separate cell and if the student gets
the correct answer a tick symbol comes up in the next cell.

I also want their score to be at the top of the sheet as they go.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Shane

depending on what version of excel you have there are 2 guys that have
a list of special characters
Check-out j-walk.com
and search for special characters, or maybe his face ID's
or search for excel special charactors in the google groups search or
google web search
I am sure something will come up

Hi Ofey,

Try using the Webdings font in the marking cells; then, the lower case
letters a and r will give you the symbols you want.

Norman that's exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks for your help.
