Good morning, I have the following formula in a cell and works great:
=(IF(AA2<NOW(),"Expired","OK")
What I would like to do is replace the word "Expired" by a red X and the word "OK" by a green checkmark in the result cell itself
When applying the conditional formatting, you have Icon, Value and Type, what would you insert in the "Value" section?
Thanks
I would do it like this.
CF rule:
=(IF(AA2<NOW(),"û","ü")
Then use the cell contains option (û for red and ü for green).
Confused? You will be until you've set the font for those cells to Wingdings.

Thank you just tried it and it is not workingOriginally Posted by AliGW
Sorry just tried it again and this time it worked, thank you again
OK now that it works I can't get the colour to work
Never mind and thank you got it to work, pretty picky
If that takes care of your original question, please select Thread Tools from the menu link above and mark this thread as SOLVED.
Thanks for the compliment.
I have one more question, now that I got it to work, it actually inserted a green check mark and a red X, when I do a mail merge to insert that symbol, the result shows "û" or "ü" instead. Do you know how to fix that?
Thanks
