"check mark"

[Doug Wyatt]

Is there any way to put a simple check mark next to text
or data an Excel spreadsheet?

Use one of the windings fonts.

For me (My PC Config) requires using Font: "Monotype Sorts", then entering
either
the number 3 for light-shaded chkmark or the number 4 for bold-shaded
chkmark - also format cell(s) as Number, General.

=char(252)

and format the cell as Windings gives a checkmark as well.

I am sure there are several fonts that include a checkmark character.
