Force entry into cell, based on validation selection in adjacent cell
Hi
I've looked at other posts and can't seem to find what I need so apologies if it is posted elsewhere. I have two columns, the first column has validation as a List to select a number of items. If a certain item is selected, then only for this item, I want the cell in the column next to this item to prompt the user to enter some data (just text). So imagine 10 rows, with all in column A as a validated drop down: A B 1 Banana 2 Banana 3 Apple 4 Cheese Stilton 5 Orange 6 Kiwi 7 Cheese Wenselydale 8 Pear 9 Banana 10 Orange When Cheese is selected a pop up box appears saying 'Enter Type', and the user has to enter the type free format? Is this just some MsgBox VB based on the entry? I.e what type of event is it if I do the code. If Range ("A1) = "Cheese" Then msgBox "Enter Type " Range ("A2).Select Also If I wanted to make the cell colour yellow, until a value is then entered, what would I enter? Cheers Rich |
