Hello All.
I have a spreadsheet with about 450 cells that need to have a tick or a cross inserted into them.

I've found a great bit of code here;
https://www.extendoffice.com/documents/excel/4558-excel-tick-and-cross.html
which is 80% of what I would really like the vba to do,,,
code so far copied from website is;

Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
'Updateby Extendoffice
    If Target.Cells.Count = 1 Then
        If Not Intersect(Target, Range("B2:B12")) Is Nothing Then
            With Target
                .Font.Name = "Wingdings"
                .Font.Size = 12
                If .FormulaR1C1 = " û " Then
                    .FormulaR1C1 = "ü"
                Else
                    .FormulaR1C1 = " û "
                End If
            End With
        End If
        Cancel = True
    End If
End Sub

Thing is,, I really want the double click to insert a cross that has a red background (Fill) for the cell, with the cross actually formatted to white text colour.

I'd love the 'Tick' to be a Green background (Fill) colour with the tick colour being black.

Does anybody know how to tweak the above code so that it can be formatted to do this?
I haven't a scoobies! :(

Any help would be most appreciated.

Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)
