How do I use the custom validation. I want to enter a validation which does
not allow the cells in column G to be more than the cell on the same row in
column E + 50.

I have selected all the cells, gone to Data Menu, Validation. Then on the
Settings tab picked Custom and then need to type the formula. Ive treid a
few but cant seem to get it right.


Mary Ann,

Select G1, DataValidation, Custom type and add a formula of

=G1<=E1+50

Then select the other cells including G1, go back to DataValidation,
and you will get a message asking to extend. Say yes.

HTH
