Date validation
I need to make sure that the date entered in column B is equal to or greater than column A and that no date can be entered in "b" if "a" is blank -- patam ------------------------------------------------------------------------ patam's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...fo&userid=3192 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=401481 |
Use data validation with a custom formula of
=AND(A2<"", B2=A2) -- HTH RP (remove nothere from the email address if mailing direct) "patam" wrote in message ...

I'm really wondering what you were thinking when you posted the above
(nothing).<g You do realize that I would not have made a fool of myself if the responder would have properly instructed the OP to uncheck the "ignore blank" box.<gdr -- Regards, RD --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please keep all correspondence within the NewsGroup, so all may benefit ! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Bob Phillips" wrote in message ... -- HTH RP (remove nothere from the email address if mailing direct) "RagDyeR" wrote in message ...

That was what I was thinking but I was so shocked I couldn't get the words
out. My hands were shaking so much, the keys didn't respond <vbg I apologise unreservedly, for my omission and fully accept liability, and promise to remember to tell everything next time (I have just completed a 12 page answer on adding time for example <ebg).
