In the previous article, I guided you on inserting checkmarks in Word 2016. In this article, you can follow similar steps as in Word to replicate those actions in Excel. Let's go through those methods again with Excel and see the results.
HOW TO INSERT A CHECKMARK IN EXCEL
Method 1: Use Wingdings 2 Font and Shift + P Shortcut
This method is applicable to all popular Excel versions such as Excel 2016, 2013, 2010, 2007, and 2003. The steps are essentially the same, making it entirely feasible for you to execute.
Step 1: Select the location in Excel where you want to insert the checkmark. Then, go to the Home tab, under Font, choose the Wingdings 2 font.
Step 2: Finally, input the uppercase letter P by pressing the Shift + P shortcut, and the checkmark you want will appear as shown below:
You can also input the 'x' symbol shown in the image. To get the 'x' symbol, press the Shift + o key combination, and it will succeed.
Method 2: Search on Google for 'Checkmark'
For this method, simply go to Google and type the search keyword 'Checkmark', then press Enter. Google will display a variety of results, and you'll notice checkmarks in those search results.
Select (highlight) the checkmark, then press Ctrl + C to copy it.
The final step is to paste (Ctrl + V) into the selected position in Excel, and you will succeed.
Method 3: Inserting a Checkmark using Symbol
For the third method, follow these steps:
Step 1: Open your Excel file and select the location for the checkmark. Then, go to Insert -> choose Symbol (if your Excel window is small, select Symbol again).
Step 2: In the Symbol interface, under the Symbols tab, select Font as Wingdings 2, then find and choose the checkmark symbol, and click Insert.
If you want to insert a checkbox, for example, choose the checkbox symbol with a tick or cross as desired. The result after your selection will look like the image below:
To remove the inserted checkmark, simply select (highlight) the checkmark or the checkbox and press the Delete key.
You can see that the process of inserting a checkmark in Excel is straightforward and easy to perform. These three methods will greatly assist you in working with the Excel application.
