Possibly. What are your preventing? (what process would occur that you don't
want to happen if there are blanks) One simple way is: =COUNTBLANK(A2,B2,C3:C6)=0 Where you refer to all the cells you don't want blank. Formula returns a boolean, which can be used in various ways to stop/halt/notify people. You might also look into using the formula in Data-Validation. -- Best Regards, Luke M *Remember to click "yes" if this post helped you!* "vanarsdalet" wrote: I want to set a group of cells which cannot be left blank in a worksheet. is this possible? |

I'm not sure this is what you have in mind but it is worse to checkout:
* Suppose you have some header in cell A1. * Select the range A3:A50 click Data Data Validation choose "Custom" in the "Formula" box type: =COUNTA($A$2:$A2)=ROW()-2 * Watch the Absolute/Relative Addresses * Micky "vanarsdalet" wrote: I want to set a group of cells which cannot be left blank in a worksheet. is this possible? |

OR:
* Select the Range A2:A50. * Data Data Validation choose "Custom" in the "Formula" box type: =NOT(ISBLANK(A1)) * UnCheck the "IGNORE BLANK" Checkbox.
