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
Tally Marks? |ιι
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.
Tally marks, as it was taught to me in first grade or so, are little lines used to keep a count of things. They're written in groups of five, with the fifth crossing over the first four like this:
tally are these kind of stripes that represent numbers. For example one stripe is equal to 1 two tally stripes is equal to two etc when you come to five you have to put a diagonal line across the stripes. In frequency tables you just use numbers 1,2,3 etc
It is not true to say that people don't use tally marks often - they do!

It does not matter. The main thing is that it clearly marks a block of 5.

Marks cut into a tally stick
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'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

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.
