Default data validation problem

I have a several ranges of cells that currently have formulas. I wanted to
allow users to enter a specific text ("Ex") in the cells, so I set up data
validation to allow only that text. This works well, except that if the user
then decides to delete the "Ex," the original formula is lost.

Is there a way to allow the text entry, but return the original formula if
the text is deleted?

Thanks,
