Using google sheets poses a challenge. While you may think that there is an icon for selecting the bullet points, there is no such icon. However several options exist regarding the addition of bullet points in the excel google sheet. You may copy bullets of your choice and paste them in the google sheet cells. This requires one to use sources such as the Microsoft word or even an existing bullet point of the shape that you want. Well if this is not possible for you there is another option. You may decide to use Unicode which are numbers that help add bullet points in the cells. In this article, I am going to show you how to make bullet points of different shapes using Unicode. These range from circle bullets, inverse bullet, triangle bullet, hyphen bullet, black point bullet, white point bullet, and rightward bullet.
