I need to restrict entry in one cell if there is anything in the cell next to
it. Only one entry per line. How can I do this?

Thanks in advance,

You need Validation on the Data toolbar.
Data Validation, in the 'Allow' box, select 'Custom' In the 'Formula' box
that appears, enter =B1=0
Use the Error Alert tab to enter a suitable error message,
