First, please turn off your caps because it's the same as
yelling at people for no good reason. Data validation has two main purposes. One is to enter valid data in a cell, another is to ensure only valid entries are made if you manually type them in. Because of the first part, if you tried using data validation on a cell with a formula, you could easily overwrite the formula with one of the allowed values. Therefore you can't use data validation directly on a cell containing a formula and expect it to work. You can only use data validation to validate data. Data is raw information, not a formula. You could use data validation on the cells that are referenced with your formula. -----Original Message----- HOW CAN I USE DATA VALIDATION IN CELLS WITH FORMULA . |
