A bit short on detail here.
How do you want to restrict entries?
Where does the info come from for the arguments that make up the
formula?

Default stdev CF Formula

Sorry for the lack of detail. I am wanting to use the two color scale in CF
and under the minimum and maximum value enter a formula for the standard
deviation of the data in that column. On the minimum side, I am wanting it to
highlight data red when it exceeds -1 stdev, and on the maximum side
highlight data green when it exceeds 1 stdev. This way I can see highlighted
data for only values more than one stdev away from the mean. I may use the
three color scale so to define what a center mean will be (usually 0). I just
need to know what I should type into both the min and max to retrieve these
results.

Thank you!

I beg your pardon - I read DV (Data validation) instead of CF!
I'm working on it, but xl2007 is significantly different from earlier
versions of Excel in this respect. Which version are you using?

Default stdev CF Formula


(Excel 2007 below)

In 2003:
Raw data in A1:A30:
355
If you cant see the picture, it's at
http://tinyurl.com/y8vumd3
This picture shows the cf formulae in cell A1, but I think you could
select the whole range and enter the same formulae and it should work.

In xl2007 there is the built in facility to do exactly what you want -
no formulae required. Select the entire raw data range, on the -Home
-tab click on -Conditional formatting-, -Color Scales, More Rules-,
Select the rule type: -Format only values that are above or below
average-, in the -Format Values- dropdown choose -1 std dev above-,
choose your formatting and OK.
Repeat the exercise choosing -1 std dev below-. You end up with the
range having two CF rules.
