Locking Cell through Validation
Dear All,
I am working in a program in which I want to lock a Cell in such a way like if A1 = "Boiler" , then Cell A2 should not allow the user to enter the number more than 28,800. If A1 = Any text other than boiler then Cell A2 can alow the user to enter the number more than 28,800 but should not be more than 68,000. Please guide me how I can I do this with Data Validation. I tried with Data Validation--- Allow--- Custom, but in vain. Thanks and Regards, Premanand.S |

Select A2, then try this as the formula in DVAllowCustom:
=OR(AND(A1="Boiler",A2<=28800,ISNUMBER(A2)),AND(A1 <"Boiler",A2<=68800,ISNUMBER(A2))) -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 Downloads:15,900 Files:354 Subscribers:53 xdemechanik --- "Premanand Sethuraman" wrote: Dear All, I am working in a program in which I want to lock a Cell in such a way like if A1 = "Boiler" , then Cell A2 should not allow the user to enter the number more than 28,800.
