I am working with Excel 2007 and am befuddled as to why this formula won't work:


=IF($N$5=2,CHAR(232),"")


Char (232) is supposed to be a bold right pointing arrow as noted on the insert symbol wingdings screen. However, when the statement is TRUE it shows this as a result of the TRUE statement: è


Can anyone help?

Hi Mike ,


Just format the cell as Wingdings. The formula alone , just puts that value in the cell ; formatting the cell as Wingdings will display the right pointing arrow.

I am learning so much on this forum and am creating more complex formulas based upon this new knowledge. Changing the formatting never occured to me. Thanks so much for helping me solve this so quickly!
