Data validation dependent on value in another cell.
I would like to limit the input into a cell (y or n), based on the value in
the cell above it, (also y or n). So if one cell contains "y", then the user cannot input "y" into the other cell. I'm familiar with data validation, just not sure of the proper syntax to use. Thanks. |

Assuming the cells are F1 and F2, and you are setting up F2, use DV with a
Custom type and a formula of =AND(OR(F2="Y",F2="N"),F2<F1) -- HTH Bob (there's no email, no snail mail, but somewhere should be gmail in my addy) "Gubawatts" wrote in message ...
