Data validation checks the entries that are made in a cell. It can't
prevent users from leaving a cell empty.
Perhaps you change other formulas on the worksheet, so they don't return
a result if the price cells are empty.

i have a list of countries in column A, and in column B i have created
a data validation list (of prices). but users can simply leave column
B empty if they wish to - how do i force them to 'pick' from the list?
hope this makes sense. thanks


column a column b (drop down list to choose from)
belgium
denmark
uk
etc
