Default DATA VALIDATION

xp/2003

I am trying to specify that fields in a column can only accept an entry
between 03 and 83 and that each entry have two and only two numbers (03-83,
in other words). The entries can be either number or text format.

I can't find the combination of cell format and data validation that allows
this.

Ideas?

Default DATA VALIDATION

Format the cell, custom number format as 00 (I am assuming you always want
the preceding 0 to be shown for 03-09.
Data|Validation
Allow: Whole Number
Data: Between
Minimum: 3
Maximum: 83

Hope this helps.
