Show a tick mark for a positive test result

[JPS]

I need to know how to show a tick mark in a cell when my formula evaluating
data is correct. I have the formula working with an X and I can manually add
a tick mark to the cell but I need a formula to insert the tick.

Thanks for the Help!

I have the formula working with an X ..
Amend your formula to return a lower case "b" instead of an "X", then use
Marlett font for the formula cell(s). The "b"'s will appear as tick marks.

Max,
Works but when I format the range, I am getting other symbols if the value
is not the tick. Is there a way to format the cells to Marlett only when the
resultant value is the tick?

Hi,
If you are using excel 2007, go to conditional formating, Icon Sets and
there you have your tick, it will show up only if there is a value , but you
can set up with different conditions

I am using 2003... Any suggestion?

Hi JPS
How about Setting the font colour to white in that column and then using
conditional formatting> Cell value is: > select Equal to> and type b in the
next window, press Format and use colour font.

Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
Dim Cell As Range
Const WS_RANGE As String = "B:B" 'adjust to suit
On Error GoTo CleanUp
Application.EnableEvents = False
For Each Cell In Me.Range(WS_RANGE).Cells
If Cell.Value = "x" Then
With Cell
.Font.Name = "Marlett"
.Font.Size = 10
.Value = "b"
End With
End If
Next Cell
CleanUp:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

Bad suggestion.

Clears out the formulas in cells with an "x"

You can insert a tick mark inside the formula, and ignore the cell format,

something like :

=IF(A1>0,"√","")
