Hi,

I want to create data validation with Tick & Cross sign. Is there any options to use Tick & Cross sign in data validation.

Please suggest ASAP.

Thanks in advance.
 

Excel Facts

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.
you could use different fonts in the cell
and then choose the tick and cross - characters

for example
Marlett font
use an "a" to get a tick use a "r" to get a X without the quotes

then you can use
a
r
in a list and use that for your data validation

there are lots of other fonts that will provide a tick and a cross

OR
you could use conditional formatting and the ICON set to get a cross or tick that way
along with a data validation list
and use the icon set to NOT display the cell value - just the icon
may look better

in your list goto

select
>ARIAL UNICODE MS
character code

and
2715
Or you will see other ticks and cross
