You are both telling the questioner how to *select* a single table 
cell.  It wasn't obvious to me what he meant by "check", but his 
example document suggests that he wants to create diagonal lines 
which accurately join the corners of the cell, so that the cell 
becomes marked, deleted, disabled, crossed out.  His example has 
lines that have evidently been positioned manually and are not as 
neat as he would no doubt prefer.

I don't see how to do this easily.  A workaround may be to fill the 
cell with a background colour instead (after selecting it as above) - 
perhaps with a suitable grey?
