    Need to Generate Symbols Based on Text for Task List

    Hi,
    I have three conditions that need to be considered, 1) A1="Done"; 2)A1="F/U"; 3) A1 is blank.
    I'd like a different symbol for items 1 and 2 (i.e. Check Mark or X or "Happy Face?") and leave cell blank for item 3.
    Thank you.

    Thanks DILIPandey, that's almost got it but, I need a separate symbol if the text is "F/U" (i.e. "!") and a Check Mark if the text is "Done."
    Does that make sense and, can you still help me please.
    Thank you very much.
