Data Validation, Custom
 
I have a spreadsheet where I am trying to limit a user's input in a
particular
cell to one of 3 options, "No", "Yes", or a date in a "MM/DD/YY" format.
Is this possilbe using the Data Validation function, choosing Allow:
Custom,
and inputing a formula?

Thanks!

Give this expression a try:
=OR(AND(ISTEXT(A1),OR(A1="No",A1="Yes")),AND(ISNUM BER(A1),CELL("format",A1)="d4"))
