Format cell so number entered will show only one way
I have a speadsheet I am working on and would like some cells to be
"formatted" so when the user enters a number it will only accept it one way. For example: If the user enters the case number as 081234, the cell is currently formatted to accept it as 08-1234 (I set this up under FormatCellsNumberCustom, which works). However, if the user enters the case number WITH the hyphen I would like to use the DataValidation feature so an error alert pops up letting them know that no hyphen is needed. I was able to set this up, but if I enter the case with OR without the hyphen I get an error message for both, instead of just when using the hyphen. I see there is also a space to enter a formula under DataValidation but, unfortunately, I do not understand formulas very well. Can somebody please help? Thank you! |
