Creating a warning window
 

I'm working on a timecard project. I want to create a popup window
(userform) when the values someone inputs on the worksheet for their
regular hours + other hours does not equal the time interval they
inputed.

Example: I input that I worked from 8:00am to 4:00pm (8hr day). I can
break down my hours between regular work hours and other hours
(overtime). If the employee puts in 5 regular hours and 10 other hours
for that day, obviously that is more than the 8 hour day they claimed
they worked.


If this scenario was true, I want a window to pop up telling them that
their hours don't equal.


CAN I DO THAT?

How about just letting Excel do the math from the Start and Finish times and
the user not even have to enter anything except those?

Use DataValidation and use a type of Custom and a formula

=regular_hours+overtime_hours=totals_hours

it will error if this is false.

connected the data validation and it doesn't seem to be working.

If I put a data validation condition in a cell that has a formula in
it, will the validation not work?


What I have: cell 1 has the formula that adds regular hours +other
hours. Cell 2 gives me the total hours worked that day (also a
formula). In cell 1, I put a data validation of these settings
Allow: custom
Formula: =n7*
*n7 is where the number of total hours is located


any sugguestions on why the warning is not popping up?

well, since this is the first time i've used this, I didn't know how
fast the responses would be. Therefore, I just tried 3 forums to
increase my chances of a quick response.

Thank you for your quick response though. I know now that this forum
works quickly.

I did a test one in another worksheet that looks like this
regular hours other total
6 2 8
6 8
8 8

the demensions are columns a:c and rows 1:4

questions:
which cell do I validate?
when I tried validating in cell d3 the formula I put was (=a3+b3=c3)
and nothing popped up. Solutions?
