    Conditional Formatting, Create a rule?

    I've built a worksheet in Excel 2007 for the purpose of tracking files that I am working on for my business. I am trying to create a rule (or something) so that whenever I type the words "YES" or "NO" a check mark or an "x" (icons) will populate instead of the text.

    I've tried looking through my Dummies book and googling for "how to" but I haven't found anything that shows me how I can do this.

    Is there anyone that knows what I'm talking about that can explain to me the best way to set that up?

    Thank you so much!

    Maybe a macro. Right click sheet tab > select view code > paste in the below

    Then type yes or no in Col A

    Thank you for the quick response!

    That did work. I am still wondering though, if (instead of an "X") an icon can be populated when I type "YES" and "NO". For example: 3 symbols (uncircled)

    Sorry I don't have 2007. You could use a symbol which is under insert > symbol in my version
