I think this might be another way:

Function HasValidation(rng As Range) As Boolean
On Error Resume Next
HasValidation = rng.Validation.AlertStyle
End Function

Debug.Print HasValidation(ActiveCell)
Debug.Print HasValidation(Range("B1"))

Hi,

Is there anyway to determine if the cell has data validation defined ?.
Something similar to range.hasformula. I want to turn incelldropdown to
false if datavalidation is defined for the cell. I need this done to
prevent selection from the dropdown list of protected , locked cells
when the file has been opened in readonly.

Thank you.
