Data validation, alpha or numeric characters
I need to enter either the letters "nd" in a cell, or a numeric range of less that 5.0. Can this be done with validation? If not "nd" or <5, then I would like spreadsheet to pop up the "stop" box. Please help!!!

Data validation, alpha or numeric characters
If you only want "nd" or the integers between 1 and 4, inclusive: DataValidation Allow: List Source: nd,1,2,3,4 Alternatively, If you only want "nd" or any numeric value less that 5, try this: DataValidation Allow: Custom Formula: =or(A1="nd",A1<5) Does that help?

One way ..
Assume inputs would be made in col A, A1 down Select col A Click Data Validation Select Custom under "Allow" Put as the "Formula:" =OR(A1<5,A1="nd") Click OK Test it out .. -- Rgds Max xl 97 --- Singapore, GMT+8 xdemechanik http://savefile.com/projects/236895 -- "tsammons" wrote in message ...
