Indirect validation possibility?
I am using Excel 2002
I would like to have a Validation list appear in a the cells in column 3 if the cells in column 1 have "CAE" as a part of their text; otherwise I would like to have the cells in column 3 behave as if they have no validation list (i.e. no dropdown arrow appears when any of the cells are selected) Is this possible; does anyonne know how to do it TIA Joe |

Turn on the macro recorder and set up the validation you want.
Now go to the calculate event of the worksheet and incorporate that basic code in a loop through the cells in column 3. If calculate doesn't update it frequently enough, then you can use the selection change event (not sure how CAE is produced in column 3, so you would have to be the judge of what event is best to use). -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Joe" wrote in message ...

Hi Tom
CAE is in column 1. It is populated from another validation list. What would this loop do? I'm still not clear on what you are suggesting Thanks Jo ----- Tom Ogilvy wrote: ---- Turn on the macro recorder and set up the validation you want Now go to the calculate event of the worksheet and incorporate that basi code in a loop through the cells in column 3 If calculate doesn't update it frequently enough, then you can use th selection change event (not sure how CAE is produced in column 3, so yo would have to be the judge of what event is best to use) -- Regards Tom Ogilv "Joe" wrote in messag ..
