Default Validation Help

Hi

I would like to validate cell B27, so that only data can be inputed if there
is a value in cell B16.

Thanks
Dan

In B27, use a custom formula of
=$B$16<""
but you also need to deselect the "ignore blank" checkbox
(assuming this is xl2003)

if there is a value in cell B16.

Define "value". Does that mean a number or does that mean either a number or
text?

See if this does what you want...

Select cell B27
Goto the menu DataValidation
Allow: Custom
Formula: =LEN(B16)
Uncheck: Ignore blank
OK out
