Setting Data Validation
Can anyone tell me how, if possible, can I set up a data validation, such the
entry must star with a capital E and be followed by 3 numeric digits? Thanks Bill |

Setting Data Validation
I'm sure it can be done more elegantly but with A1 selected select Custom
from the Data Validation Allow drop down and paste this in: =EXACT(LEFT(A1,1),"E")*(LEN(A1)=4)*NOT(ISERROR(RIG HT(A1,3)*2)) -- Jim "Techtrainer" wrote in message ... | Can anyone tell me how, if possible, can I set up a data validation, such the | entry must star with a capital E and be followed by 3 numeric digits? | | Thanks | Bill |
