I need to add data validation twice to a cell, but can't figure out
how.

Using the data below as an example

Record Type Hours
Hrs 8
Exp


In the Hours column I want to ensure that it can only be populated if
the Record Type column contains 'Hrs' and I want to only allow numbers.

try this
custom
=and(isnumber(p2),m2="hrs")

That worked perfectly.
Thanks Don.

Do you think you could take it one step further and based on Record
Type provided a drop down list?

So using

Record Type Hours Expense Type
Hrs 8
Exp XXXXXXXXX

So using a similar data set again, if Record Type = 'Exp', Expesnse
Type can be populated with either 'Food', 'Travel' or 'Phone' where I
have XXXXXXXXX
