Excel number sequencing formatting
 
I am using MS Excel and want to have 4 sets of numbers only be available in
the cells I pick. The numbers and sequence of these numbers are first set.
1,2,4,3. Second set 2,4,3,1.Third set 4,3,1,2. four 3,1,2,4.
Thanks
Jim

Do you mean that a single cell should contain either 1,2,4,3 or 2,4,3,1 or
4,3,1,2 or 3,1,2,4?

Looking at a column starting at the top and working down 1 cell at a time
first cell 1,2,4,3.
second cell 2,4,3,1
third cell 4,3,1,2
Forth cell 3,1,2,4

Thanks

Sorry Jim, but I still don't know what do you want to achieve! You can enter
these four sets manually in the first four cells of a column, say column A,
thus you have

A
1 1,2,4,3
2 2,4,3,1
3 4,3,1,2
4 3,1,2,4

And what to do now?

I just want to make sure I don't run any sequence other than the set i noted
above. Each set of number will have it's own cell. Let say I try adding
sequence 1,2,3,4 I would like to have the Exel block any cells that I would
chose from putting a different sequence other than the sequence note.
Thanks

Well, I'm still not sure, but if you have the table below in range A1:D4 then
enter this formula in E1:
=A1&","&B1&","&C1&","&D1
select range F1:F4 and DataValidationChoose Custom validation from drop
down list and enter =E1=F1 in formula field.
Cell F1 accepts only 1,2,4,3 etc.
