If A1 is empty, then delete the cell I'm in - with data validatio
Hello,
I have a cell (B1) that is using data validation to a named list. I want to also put a condition on the cell (B1) that if a particular other cell (A1) is empty, then this cell (B1) is empty too. But, the data validation won't let me put a forumula into the cell (B1). How can I put a formula into a cell that is 'protected' by data validation? Thanks! |

Not sure if this will satisfy:
In H1:H10 I have the valid entries In I1 I have the formula =IF(ISBLANK($A$1),"",H1) which I copy down to I10 I name I1:I10 as OKlist In Data Validation I specify OKlist Now, OKLIst will have values in it if A1 is non-blank otherwise the list hold 10 blanks However, I can still type invalid entries in B1 when A1 is blank I could use Conditional Formatting to make the cell red under these conditions best wishes -- Bernard V Liengme www.stfx.ca/people/bliengme remove caps from email "Shelly" wrote in message ...
