How do you replace a yes value in a cell with a check mark?

[Flo]

I have certain cells in a worksheet that contain the word YES. I would like
to replace the word YES with a check mark.

try, Alt+0124

(numbers must be entered from the number keypad). Then change the font to
symbol.

See

For several ways to do this. Some have been suggested by the other posters.

Or, just for fun, use a macro:

Sub checkmark()
If ActiveCell.Value = "YES" Then
With ActiveCell
.Value = "ü"
.Characters(Start:=1, Length:=1).Font.Name = "Wingdings"
End With
End If
End Sub

You could add this to the worksheet code to make it automagic og just use a
shortcut.
