I'm wanting to add some data validation to a worksheet that pulls
information from several other worksheets that many other users
frequently use.

For example, each user enters info into their own worksheet. John Q.
Doe enters his information, Billy T. Bob enters his information, etc...

At month end, I run a "Summary" report that will pull all of their
information into one master report.

I recently started to run into problems because each user should enter
his/her initials (ex. JQD or BTB), but instead they are entering their
full name. When my "Summary" report is run, it looks for the initials,
and not the name.

I'm wanting to know the best way to do some data validation. Either:
1. Set up some validation for each users worksheet, or
2. Set up some validation for my master "Summary"



On my summary, each users initials are in column A. It looks like
this
ABC
SST
BES
SHT
John Q. Doe
FRB
Billy T. Bob
Etc...

If I go with validation for my master "Summary", I'm wanting some
validation that will only accept 3 alpha characters in Column A.



Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!!
