Data Validation for text only
Kind of ugly but it works:
=SUMPRODUCT(--(ISNUMBER(MATCH(CODE(MID(A1,ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN( A1))),1)),ROW(INDIRECT("97:122")),0))))+SUMPRODUCT (--(ISNUMBER(MATCH(CODE(MID(A1,ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN( A1))),1)),ROW(INDIRECT("65:90")),0))))=LEN(A1) Biff "Kimberly" wrote in message ...

P.S.
That also excludes ALL numbers and ALL special characters. The cell will only accept strings of A:Z and/or a:z. Biff "Biff" wrote in message ...

Data Validation for text only
I went to data validation, custom, and it does not allow me to enter this
formula. Am I correct in adding it in the custom information? Thank you!! "Biff" wrote: You're welcome! Biff "Kimberly" wrote in message ... Thank you very much for your help!! "Biff" wrote: P.S.
