Validation on date
I need to have a validation between two date columns so if the date is
greater than 90 days, it can either stop the user or flag the user.Can this be done? |

Validation on date
One day is 1 in Excel so you can use validationallowdate or allowcustom
where you refer to a fixed date in a cell like =A190+$B$2 where A1 is the cell that you validate and B2 the date -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom Excel 95 - Excel 2007 Northwest Excel Solutions www.nwexcelsolutions.com (remove ^^ from email) "jk" wrote in message ...

Validation on date
On the toolbar, go to Data | Validation while you are on the cell containing
date the User is entering (in my example, cell B1). Select "Custom". In the Formula box type: =IF(B1-A190,1=2,1=1) Where B1 = the cell the user is data entering Where A1 = the existing date The formula is say if the date (in B1) is more than 90 days from the date (in A1) then 1=2 (which is false and will give the user an error message). If the date in B1 is less than the date in A1 then 1=1 (which is true & no error message given to user). Play around with it to make it fit your situation. Also, look at the other tabs, you can customize the error message, etc. See also: http://www.contextures.com/xlDataVal01.html Thx MSweetG222 "jk" wrote: I need to have a validation between two date columns so if the date is greater than 90 days, it can either stop the user or flag the user.Can this be done? |
