Prevent entry based on another cell value
 

Hi every one
A1=5
B1=10
If C1 is is not between 5 and 10 then D1 is "locked" for entry.
I suppose some sort of custom conditional formatiing would do this but Im
not sure how to do it.
Thanks!
Melissa

choose data / validation
under allow choose
custom
type in formula
=AND(C1A1,C1<B1)

click OK

Melissa,

Select cell D1, then use Data | Validation, then choose "Custom" and use
the formula

=AND(C1=A1,C1<=B1)
