In cell A1 I have a formula which comes up with either 0 or a number greater than 0.

In cell B1 I want:
1. A tick symbol to appear if A1=0
2. A cross symbol to appear if A1 >0

Not sure how to do it or what formual would allow this as I have never dealt with symbols in formulas?

Can this be done?

Press Ctrl+End to move to what Excel thinks is the last used cell.
Try using the formula below and change the font in B1 to Marlett.


Book1
AB
11r
Sheet1
Cell Formulas
RangeFormula
B1=IF(A1=0,"a",IF(A1>0,"r",""))


If a minus number really isn't a possibility then you can just use the formula below and again change the font in B1 to Marlett.
