Show checkmark if complete
Excel formula: Show checkmark if complete
Generic formula
=IF(A1="complete",CHAR(252),"")
Summary
To show a checkmark when a task is complete, you can use a formula based on the IF and CHAR functions. In the example shown, the formula in D5, copied down, is:
=IF(C5="complete",CHAR(252),"")
where D5:D11 is formatted with the "Wingdings" font.
Insert a Checkmark Symbol
Select Wingdings in the Font dropdown list.
Scroll to the bottom of the listed icons and you will be able to choose from two different checkmark options. Left click on either one to select it. It will be highlighted in blue once selected.
Press the Insert button to add this into your worksheet.
Add Checkmark Bullet Points
First you will need to add a text box shape into Excel.
Go to the Insert tab.
Click on the Shapes button.
Choose the Text Box shape. Only the text box shape will have the bullet point option.
When you hover the mouse cursor over the grid, it will show as an inverted cross. Left click and drag to draw the text box shape in the grid.
Now you will be able to add check mark or tick mark bullet points into the shape to make fancy looking lists.
Right click on the shape.
Choose Bullets from the menu options.
Select the checkmark bullet option.
Create a Checkmark with the CHAR Function
That’s right, you can use an Excel function to produce a checkmark!
The CHAR function can be used to return an ANSI character based on a given number between 1 and 255.
= CHAR ( 252 )
The above formula will return the ü character which can then be formatted into a checkmark by changing the cell font to Wingdings.
= CHAR ( 254 )
Similarly, the above formula can be used to get the box with checkmark.
Note you need to format the font as Wingdings.
Create a Checkmark with the UNICHAR Function
There is another Excel function you can use to create check mark characters and this time you don’t need to format the font.
The UNICHAR function takes an integer number greater than or equal to 1 and returns the corresponding Unicode character.
= UNICHAR ( 9745 )
= UNICHAR ( 9989 )
= UNICHAR ( 10003 )
= UNICHAR ( 10004 )
Use any of the above formula to create a checkmark character.
Copy and Paste a Checkmark from the Web
Searching the web for the term checkmark will return loads of results and you can just copy any of the checkmarks you find and paste them into Excel.
✓✔☑✅
You can copy and paste any of the above checkmarks into Excel if you don’t want to do another web search.
Insert a Checkmark with AutoCorrect
If you are going to be using check marks a lot in Excel, then creating an autocorrect shortcut might be the easiest way.
This will allow you to choose a keyword that will automatically change to a check or tick mark once you type it.
Go to the File tab.
Select Options from the backstage menu.
Select Proofing in the Excel Options dialog box.
Press the AutoCorrect Options button.
Enter a bit of text in the Replace field that Excel will autocorrect. You should choose something like chck here so that when you actually want to use the word check, it won’t get corrected.
Paste in your favourite checkmark character in the With field. This is what your text will get replaced with.
Press the Add button to add this autocorrect rule.
Press the OK button in the AutoCorrect menu.
Press the OK button in the Excel Options menu.
