Hi ipbr21054,

Welcome to the forum, click on the cell, right click > Format Cell > Number, then pick Number.

To put a tick in a cell, one way is to hold Alt+0252, (but use the number keypad on the right) your cell will have a ü in it, format this cell to Wingdings Font and it will change to a tick
