The only way I found to make tally marks in Excel is to llll would be to us the lower case l and use strike-through for the five
It is not true to say that people don't use tally marks often - they do!
To convert an education tally (typically represented with marks or symbols) to a normal tally, replace each group of five marks with a single line crossing through the previous four. For example, if you have four marks (||||), add a fifth mark that crosses them (||||/). Count the total marks, and each complete group of five can be represented as one tally. Finally, simply count the remaining marks to arrive at the total.
To represent the number 18 in tally marks, you group the marks in sets of five for easier counting. Start with three complete sets of five, which gives you 15 marks, and then add three additional marks for the remaining three. The tally for 18 would look like this: 𑁍𑁍𑁍𑁍𑁍 𑁍𑁍𑁍.
Tally marks can be used to count an amount of something, such as a score of a game. You make four lines and then on the fifth line, you put a line across the four. This makes for quick counting (by 5) and less clutter.
It's just a line. One tally mark= | They are meant to keep score and then the 5th tally mark goes diagonal/across the first 4 marks

The tally marks I'm familiar with cannot have negative numbers because they are used to count real things and there cannot be a negative apple
A "frequency table" just refers to a kind of table you can make to record the frequency of particular results or events, as part of an experiment or to analyse data. It is convenient to list the possible events or results along the left side of the table, and then make tally marks across from them, in order to count the number of times each one appears; thus, the tally marks represent each event or result's frequency, or the number of times it shows up.
It does not matter. The main thing is that it clearly marks a block of 5.
