How To Use Check Mark/Tick (✓) Symbol in Excel
Excel Video: What is Check Mark/Tick () Symbol in Excel?
A check mark in Excel shows whether a given task is done or not.
Remember, it is different from the checkbox. There are three simple methods to insert a checkmark in Excel.
The first one is just copying a tick mark and pasting it in Excel.
The second option is inserting a symbol from the insert tab.
The third is when we change the font to “Wingdings 2” and press the keyboard shortcut “SHIFT+P.”
For example, suppose you insert a check mark as a symbol in a cell just as a normal text.
Here, you can also copy a check mark when we copy a cell. Moreover, you can also delete a check mark when we delete a cell.
Like a normal text, you can also format it and change the font size and color.
How to insert tick in Excel using the CHAR function
Perhaps it's not a conventional way to add a tick or cross symbol in Excel, but if you love working with formulas, it may become your favorite one. Obviously, this method can only be used for inserting a tick in an empty cell.
Symbol and Symbol Code
252= Tick Symbol
254= Tick in a box
251= Cross symbol
253 = Cross in box
The formula to put a checkmark in Excel is as simple as this:
=CHAR(252) or =CHAR(254)
To add a cross symbol, use either of the following formulas:
=CHAR(251) or =CHAR(253)
Note. For the tick and cross symbols to be displayed correctly, the Wingdings font should be applied to the formula cells.
