Only Allowing Certain Codes In Column
In my spreadsheet, I would like to set a column so that it will only allow
certain codes. For example: I would like only the following written exactly as is here to be allowed to be entered into a column: AUTO HOME DP-3 DP-2 How can I set the column to only allow these & can I make it so it will display the codes for the user. Thank you. |

Select your column and then DataData Validation. Take the list option and
enter your list separated by commas and then enter any input or error message you want -- HTH Nick Hodge Microsoft MVP - Excel Southampton, England HIS "Buttercup" wrote in message ...
