Hi!

I have a workshhet where people are booking themselves for different
programs. But there is a limit, for example the SUM of D2:D10 don´t
have to be more than 8. How do I stop a user to put in any number when
th SUM has reached 8?

There seems to be a lag in the system today because I answered this post
on the microsoft newsgroup hours ago. I guess I'll just have to repost
it here so here it goes.


Select D2:D10, then go to Data/Validation, next select "custom" from
the
"Allow" menu and in the formula box type:

=SUM($D$2:$D$10)<=8

next click on the "Error Alert" tab and leave a message for the user.
