Validation Formula
Hi everyone. I need a validation formula that will allow (only) the word
"CHIPS" in the validation cell if cell A1<"MB". If Cell A1="MB", then the words "CASH, CHIPS, or CHECK" (only) may be entered. Please help- "Thanks" |
Validation Formula
Try this:
=OR(AND(K10<"MB",M10="Chips"),AND(K10="MB",OR(M10 ="Cash",M10="Check",M10="Chips"))) -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Teddy-B" wrote in message ... Hi everyone.

Thanks T.Valko, but this did not work. I am setting custom validation for
cell M10. when I entered your formula as validation, excel would not allow me to enter anything into the cell (M10). I need to set the following validation requirements in cell (M10): IF K10 = "MB" then M10 can only be Cash,Chips,or Check. and If K10 <"MB" then M10 can only be Chips. "T.

What did you enter in K10, and what did you try to enter in M10?
In what way do you think that T Valko's formula differs from your requirement? It seems to do exactly what you asked for. Perhaps you'd better check that you've entered the formula correctly. Did you copy and paste, or did you try to retype it? Note that if you enter a valid entry in M10 but then change K10, the M10 validation condition will not be checked again until you try to edit M10 again, so you may wish to impose a validation condition on K10 too. -- David Biddulph "Teddy-B" wrote in message ...

On another worksheet, create two lists, one with chips, and another with
all three items. Name each list, e.g. ChipsList and PayList There are naming instructions he http://www.contextures.com/xlNames01.html In the data validation cell, choose DataValidation For Allow, select List For the Source, enter the formula: =IF($A$1="MB",PayList,ChipsList) Teddy-B wrote: Hi everyone.

It works well. "David Biddulph" wrote: What did you enter in K10, and what did you try to enter in M10? In what way do you think that T Valko's formula differs from your requirement?

plugged in properly, it works well. "David Biddulph" wrote: What did you enter in K10, and what did you try to enter in M10?
