 How to auto strikethrough based on cell value in Excel?

In Excel, we can apply the strikethrough to remove the unwanted cell contents manually, but, in this article, I will talk about how to auto strikethrough based on cell value. For example, I want to apply strikethrough for the row data based on the cell value in Column E, if the cell value is “N”, to apply the strikethrough automatically for the relative rows as following screenshot shown.

    I regularly wind up utilizing the strikethrough highlight in both Word and Excel to stamp things as finished. This component is genuinely clear in Word, as a strikethrough symbol shows up conspicuously on the Home tab in Word 2007 and later. Then again, in Excel this component doesn't have its own particular symbol, yet it has a console alternate route, Ctrl-5. However there's no worked in essay writing route for strikethrough in Word.

    Using the instructions from this page (Auto strikethrough based on cell value with Conditional Formatting) I am trying to add the proper formula to a spreadsheet with the cell value being a check mark (instead of N like the example). Ultimately, what I am trying to do is this: When I double click column A1, it will automatically add a check mark in that cell. In addition to the check mark, it will perform auto-strikethrough on cells B1 and C1. Is it possible to accomplish this? I had no problem entering a rule to add a check mark to a cell by double clicking it. And I had no problem adding the conditional formatting in order to auto strikethrough text. What I cannot seem to figure out is how to combine the 2 efforts. I do not like the idea of Check boxes and have tried that route already.
