Default Using data validation


It is not clear what you are trying to do, what do you want to be able to do
or not to do if H1 holds

Agency or Employee Traveler

?


Because validation works by allowing only the TRUE values (if they are
typed)

I'm not sure I explained it properly. I want to replace the "0.5" in the
statement with an option that allows ANY number, in currency format, to be
entered in cell H2 (H2 is where the data validation function is located.)
The function I listed below is currently working. Would a wildcard allow
the
user to input data in H2?

are looking for?

If not, what cell is the validation in?

I'm trying to set up a function in "data validation", "other".

=IF(OR(H1="Agency",H1="Employee Traveler")," ",0.5)

So far this works. However, I want to modify it to allow the user to
input
any amount if it returns false. Is there a way to do this within the
function above or do I need to delve more into VBA?

Any amount of help would be grand.
