Limit Digits entered into a cell
I have a cell that users enter a 3 digit number and another a date, both are
used to generate a serial number. Is there a way so that if a user enters more than 3 digits an error message comes up and it doesn't update to the serial number cell? Thanks for any help |

Limit Digits entered into a cell
Mike,
Look at Data Validation==Number and limit values to 100 to 999. You can your own "Error Alert" message. Would this be OK?
