How do you limit the total allowed for a group of cells?
I am trying to limit the number of hours that my employees can log. How do I
prevent the total of 3 cells from exceeding 80 hours. I tried to limit it through the validation menu, but I have been unable to figure it out. (By the way, they can log in decimals, not just whole numbers). |
