If you wanted to install this validation in A1 to A20,
Select A1:A20, then: <Data <Validation Expand the "Allow" box, and choose "Custom". Enter this into the "Formula box: =WEEKDAY(A1,2)5 Then <OK -- HTH, RD ============================================== Please keep all correspondence within the Group, so all may benefit! ============================================== "Sam" wrote in message ...

So what would i type as the formula if i wanted the cell to display the full
date (e.g Saturday 19th March) but wanted it to only allow a saturday or sunday, with the date greater or equal to todays date?

=AND(WEEKDAY(A1,2)5,A1=TODAY()) -- HTH, RD ============================================== Please keep all correspondence within the Group, so all may benefit! ============================================== "Sam" wrote in message ...

I'm sorry but i don't understand what the code means. Is it possible for you
to explain what each seperate part of the formula makes the validation do. Many thanks for your help so far.

=and()
means that all the portions within those parentheses must be true for the =And() to be true. =weekday(a1,2) returns a number representing the day of the week. 2 means that Monday is 1 and Sunday is 7. (you can see excel's help for more info) a1=today() just checks to see if the date in A1 is at least as big as today's date. Sam wrote: I'm sorry but i don't understand what the code means.
