Can I limit a cell to 2 characters?
Is there a way in Excel to limit the number of characters in a cell?
Thanks Frank |

By checking the length of the cell
=LEN(A1)=2 in your custom validation. Look for Data Validation on Debra Dalgleish's site. --- HTH, David McRitchie, Microsoft MVP - Excel [site changed Nov. 2001] My Excel Pages: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/excel.htm Search Page: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/search.htm "Frankc" wrote in message ...

You can do it directly, using Data -- Validation, and choosing text length.
