Validation based on output of a different cell.
I am trying to set up a spreadsheet in Excel 2000 which has Data Validation
on various columns, and I was wondering if something is possible. For ease of use, I will just use 2 columns (A and B). Column A has validation on allowing entry from a list of 5 selection. Column B is a free entry field. What I require is that Column B remain a free entry field, except for when Column A is a certain one of the 5 selections, then I want Column B to only accept an input from a selection of 3. Is this possible, and if so, how? Any help would be greatly appreciated. cdb |

Cheers. I'd seen that before, but the problem is I still need the cells that
don't fall uner the certain criteria to be free entry, and I can't get it to work with that. Anyone any ideas?? cdb "Gary''s Student" wrote: see: http://www.contextures.com/xlDataVal02.html -- Gary''s Student gsnu200711 |

Create a list of the 3 items, and name that range, e.g. Select3
Select a blank cell and name it, e.g. Freeform In column B, for Data Validation, Allow: List In the Source box, enter: =IF(A1="Feb",Select3,Freeform) Where "May" is the restricted item cdb wrote: Cheers.
