    Automatic Symbol

    Is there a way to have an 'x' or 'checkmark' automatically put in a cell if you just click on the cell? If so how? Thanks

    You need to implement a macro for this.

    Re: Automatic Symbol

    That option is not there for me. But it does work for me when I double click in the cell. Where do I see the macro and/or be able to copy it to my sheet?

    When I click view macro I don't see anything. Thanks.
