Dataval question
I use the below formula in datavalidation to not allow commas in the cell.
Is there a way to add to this to also not allow more than 1 blank space in the cell? Thank you!! =IF(ISERROR(FIND(",",B5)),1,0) |
Dataval question
Use a validation formula like
=(LEN(B5)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(B5," ","")))<2 Note that there is one space between the first set of quote marks, and nothing between the second set of quote marks. -- Cordially, Chip Pearson Microsoft MVP - Excel Pearson Software Consulting, LLC www.cpearson.com "Steph" wrote in message ...

Hi Chip. Thanks for the formula. One folluw up question - Can we combine
the two formulas into one, so as to not allow commas OR more than one space in the cell? So essentially, combine: =(LEN(B5)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(B5," ","")))<2 and =IF(ISERROR(FIND(",",B5)),1,0) Thanks!!

I think this should work for you.
=AND((LEN(B5)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(B5," ","")))<2,ISERROR(FIND(",",B5))) Note that you do not need IF( ) with ISERROR because that function returns True/False anyway.
