Hi Jade,
I want to be prompted
when a animal number is entered that already exists.
Use Data, validation for this.
- select the range that will get the numbers (lets say the entire
Column A)
- Choose Data, validation
- Click the dropdown box and select "Custom"
- enter this formula:
=COUNTIF(A1:$A$1,A1)<2
(notice the dollar signs!)
