Can every type of text  become an X?

Hello,
I have a question about Exel: can every type of text  become an X?
When I put a text, any type, I would like to trasform it in an X, is it possible?
Thank you.
Regards.
Antonio

    Hi Antonio,

     

    If you want to show the text as X you may apply custom format to your cells as

    #,##0.00;-#,##0.00;0;X

    selecting most suitable for numbers part.

     

    If the goal is to change the content of the cell with the text on X when, as posted, to replace it or use some VBA to do that on the fly.
