Not really unless they use text where you could look for the text strings,
otherwise it is just numbers with different formats (displays), there is a
function called cell("format") but that would not be very stable

Hi,

I would like to write a formula which allows the user to put in the
control
data as either a % or £ sterling. For example:

Rent £100 in year 1.

For year 2 they either know the % increase or have a fixed figure, IE
£200.

Is there a formula which would identify whether they have entered a % or £
figure?

Thanks

Ian
