hi
i have thre columns of which at least one should contain some text how do i validate such condition? thanks -- hemu |
validation problem
Try:
=LEN(A1)+LEN(B1)+LEN(C1)0 HTH -- AP "Hemant_india" a écrit dans le message de news: ... hi i have thre columns of which at least one should contain some text how do i validate such condition? thanks -- hemu |

thanks Ardus
but the condition is such that i must validate through... Data------validation--------- and i am using "if validation=true" in vba code to check each cells value -- hemu "Ardus Petus" wrote: Try: =LEN(A1)+LEN(B1)+LEN(C1)0 HTH -- AP "Hemant_india" a écrit dans le message de news: ... hi i have thre columns of which at least one should contain some text how do i validate such condition? thanks -- hemu |

i'm at loss Ardus
a1 refers to the first cell in column "a" how will it validate second cell in column "a" sorry but please help -- hemu "Ardus Petus" wrote: You can use my formula as validation formula! -- AP "Hemant_india" a écrit dans le message de news: ... thanks Ardus but the condition is such that i must validate through...

Forget it: I tried my solution, but it does not work (never produces an
error!)

I've noticed that for most validation tasks, the Data Validation... feature
just doesn't cut it -- it's simply not powerful and flexible enough. But if you're looking at the validation result in VBA anyways, why don't you perform the validation programmatically as well? In VBA it's more or less a no-brainer. Is there some kind of odd user requirement that forces you to use Data Validation rather than a proper programming language?

Data validation doesn't force a user to make an entry - it only restricts
what can be entered. You are basically asking to format all cells except the 3 in question with data validation that will not allow entry unless one of the cells in question has an entry. This can be checked with =counta(A1,A2,B3)0 for example, but still doesn't force an entry - but if applied to all other cells would prevent entry until it is met. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Hemant_india" wrote in message ... hi i have thre columns of which at least one should contain some text how do i validate such condition? thanks -- hemu |

hi mat
i've more than 40 columns to validate in three sheets with at least 6500 records in all also every column stores diffrent values validating evry clumn through vba is u know what it is -- hemu "Mat P:son" wrote: I've noticed that for most validation tasks, the Data Validation... feature just doesn't cut it -- it's simply not powerful and flexible enough.

hi tom
see the following code With rng For n = 1 To trow - 1 For h = 1 To tcell rng.Cells(n + 1, h).Select Debug.Print Cells(n + 1, h).Value With Selection If .Validation.Value = False Then .Interior.ColorIndex = 16 errcount = errcount + 1 Else: .Interior.ColorIndex = 0 End If using your solution it did not worked please help -- hemu "Tom Ogilvy" wrote: Data validation doesn't force a user to make an entry - it only restricts what can be entered.

That doesn't have anything to do with my suggestion. Obviously you have
misinterpreted what I said. If you are going to use code, you wouldn't need to use data validation at all. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Hemant_india" wrote in message ... hi tom see the following code With rng For n = 1 To trow - 1 For h = 1 To tcell rng.Cells(n + 1, h).Select Debug.Print Cells(n + 1, h).Value With Selection If .Validation.Value = False Then .Interior.ColorIndex = 16 errcount = errcount + 1 Else: .Interior.ColorIndex = 0 End If using your solution it did not worked please help -- hemu "Tom Ogilvy" wrote: Data validation doesn't force a user to make an entry - it only restricts what can be entered.
