Default DATA VALIDATION - for data which is the result of a formula

the user enters only in J 20 and M20. F20 and U20 are formulas. Guess I
need to read up on "calculate event" - which is a new one on me. Thanx Tom

so if the user is entering data in F20, J20, M20 or U20, then you could use
a change event to validate their entry or use data validation on those
cells.

Here's the formula in the cell - it derives from entries of hours worked:
=IF(AND(U20=0,(F20+J20+M20)<9.5),10-(F20+J20+M20)-S20,0)

No, data validation only pertains to entering the data in the cell.

You would probably need to use the calculate event or further explain

what
causes the value of the cell to change.

Can this be done? If so, how?
