how to avoide duplicate entries in to cell
Hi,
Are these conditions in the same range? A. To prevent duplicate entry setup the following Data Validation: 1. Highlight the range, lets say A1:A100 2. Choose the command Data, Validation 3. Under Allow choose Custom 4. Enter the following formula in the Formulas box: =COUNTIF(A$1:A$100,A1)=1 B. To limit the number of characters entered in a cell: 1. Highlight the range and choose Data, Validation 2. Choose Text length from the Allow drop down 3. Choose less than or equal to from the Data drop down 4. Enter 10 in the Maximum box One thing to keep in mind - if the user copies and pastes data into the range where the Data Validation is, it is wiped out and anything can be entered. to combine both in the same range 1. proceed as in the first example but use the following formula =AND(COUNTIF(A$1:A$100,A4)=1,LEN(A4)<=10) -- If this helps, please click the Yes button.
