Anyone or Any one?

Does "anyone" mean the same as "any one?" When spoken they sound identical, but when written they have different meanings.

Use "anyone" when you mean any person whatsoever (cualquier persona). For example: Anyone can do it. (Cualquier persona puede hacerlo.)

Use "any one" when you mean one person out of the group. For example: Any one of the cashiers can help you with your purchases. (Cualquier de los cajeros puede ayudarte con tus compras.)
