Data Validation Question
I have a spreadsheet with columns X, Z, AB, AD, AF and AH labelled with the
following column headings: Cheque Number 1, Cheque Number 2, Cheque Number 3 etc. How do I set Data Validation on these columns to do the following: 1. Only a except a 9 digit Cheque Number. 2. To not allow any duplicate entires in any of the columns listed above. For example; a value entered into Column Z will be cross referenced with values in Z, AB, AD and AH to see if it has been duplicated. Is this possible? If not I would be quite happy with just duplicate values to be located in an individual column only. For example, for the validation process to search on a single column only. Kind regards, Simon. |

Data Validation Question
1. Only a except a 9 digit Cheque Number.
Will any check numbers have leading zeros like this: 000123456 If so, what data type are these check numbers? Are they custom formatted numbers so the leading zeros will display or are they entered as text? -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "SiH23" wrote in message ...
