Loop in a macro?

[James McMurray]

Hi, I've got a small task I need to do. I'd prefer to keep it in a macro if possible, but if some VB is necessary that's ok.

I've got a cell with a number in it. I've got another cell whose value I need to populate by lining up a number of m's equal tot he value of the first cell. For instance, if A1 has an 8, A2 would need to have mmmmmmmm.

I know it looks silly. I'm using m's because the cell will be wingdings. m in wingdings is an empty circle, and they will be used as checkboxes.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Nevermind, I found it.

REPT(string, number_of_times)

How can you use a wngding as a checkbox/ You can't check it, it is only a font.

I think he means after he prints it out maybe?

It's doable, although more trouble than it's worth. You could tie an event to it and change the m (open circle) to an l (closed circle).

I'm not doing that though. The sheet is meant for printing.
