I have a column which can contain only numbers and can only be up to 4 digits
long. Is there an IF statement I can write to check for these 2 conditions?

Thanks in advance

Something like this:

=IF(AND(ISNUMBER(A1),LEN(A1)<=4),"okay","wrong")

Copy down as required.

Hope this helps.

you can, yes, but you might like validation better. Go to Data-Validation
and choose Custom, enter this formula substituting A1 as necessary
=AND(LEN(A1)=4,ISNUMBER(A1)=TRUE)
You can also have an input message telling them what is required and a
custom error message that tells them the rules.

You can omit the =TRUE
And you probably need <=4, rather than =4
