Validation Based on a Date
Is this possible. Can I place a validation on an entire column to allow or
prevent data entry of whole numbers if I set the validation to accept a change only like so. for January - column E, validation would be to stop entry of info if =now() is greater than 01/01/2005? No macros please , because it's over 200 workbooks that are emailed out and these guys would disable the macros. |
Would this do what you want?

oops, use <= rather than < .. to allow entry up through 1/1/2005..
