Data Validation To Limit Entry - Two Criteria

Aug 30, 2012

I need cell H18 to look at cell F4, and if the value in cell F4 is 'CFB', I need validation to limit the entry in cell H18 to the values in a named range 'pripro' to populate. That part I know how to do. (=pripro)

But if the value in F4 is CCP, I need H18 to allow anything. I'm having trouble adding this to the first part.

Using Data Validation To Limit Entry Of Number Of Characters In A Cell

Jan 24, 2014

When you want to use Data Validation to limit the entry of the number of characters to a cell does this apply only to the cell that you are entering the characters or can it also apply to a cell that contains a LEN(A1) formula, for instance? Also,does the Data Validation limitation function includes spaces as well? Will the message appear while you are entering the characters (when it has reached the limit) or will it wait until you have hit Enter?

Data Validation To Limit Total For Range

Jan 20, 2010

I have three codes (P, /P, P/) that could be entered in range H5:P5. P is counted as 1; P/ and /P are both counted as ½.

I have the following formula in D5:

=COUNTIF(H5:S5,"P")+COUNTIF(H5:S5,"P/")/2+COUNTIF(H5:S5,"/P")/2

I entered the following formula for data validation:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(H5:S5="P"))+SUMPRODUCT(--(H5:S5="P/")/2)+SUMPRODUCT(--(H5:S5="/P")/2)

Limit Text Length In Cell With Formula By Data Validation?

Jan 25, 2014

Can I limit the text length in a cell that contains a formula? You may say "Limit the text length in the input cell". That can't be done because the formula in the resultant cell takes text from two other cells in addition to the input cell. I need to limit the overall text length to, let say, 50 characters.

Limit Data Validation Values To A 1 Point Margin In 3 Different Cells

Nov 17, 2009

I have a section of my program that asks for board scores (point value is 6-10 in increments of .5) I have set up a data validation so that users can only enter those specific values. Problem is, none of the values can be more than 1 point from each other. (the part I have yet to figure out)

Example, if the first value is a 6.5 the second is 7.0 and the third is a 9.0, I need the data validation to display an error because the 9.0 is beyond the one point spread.

Summary: Display an error message if any of the points are more than 1.0 point from another.

Data Validation :: Limit The Data Available On The List

Jun 28, 2009

have created a list obx using data validation. My question is, is there a way to limit the data available on the list.

Example: sheet 1
A1 A2 A3
Address A
address p
address s Date

Sheet 2
has data validation list that consists of all of A1 a named range called "address". Everything works great.
I now want to be able to limit the available choices in the list depending on what cell the user is in

example: if user is in sheet2 a1, i only want them to be able to pick address that have an "A" or "p" in cell A2 on sheet 1

I tried to acomplish this using conditional formatting, I format my named range with different colors, but the colors do not carry over to the data validation list on sheet2.

I am trying to arrange a dependent drop-down list and have the basic listing working. My problem however is that when i pull data from sheet "Mon" for column C using indirect it works but when I try to do the same thing for column D i get the same data as column C.

Update Data Validation Entry Automatically

Nov 19, 2009

I already have various dependent validation lists established using the INDIRECT function.

Now I want to figure out how I can automatically change the selected values given the selected list. For example:

Cell D11 is a validation list with options: Boat/Car

Cell D15 is a validation list where if D11 = Boat the options are Catamaran/Sailboat/Tugboat. If D11=Car the options are Convertible/Sedan/Midsize.

The problem is that if D15 is preselected as Sailboat, for example, and you go back and change D11 to equal Car, cell D15 remains an option from the Boat validation list. I would like it to automatically update as the 1st item on the car validation list.

Pop Up Calendar In Userform - Need To Limit Entry

Sep 26, 2011

I have a userform with two pop up calendars (calendar1 and calendar2). Calendar1 is the "start date" and must be a Monday. I have this portion working fine. If they select a date other than a Monday an alert message will pop up notifying the user a Monday must be selected. I need to limit the user to a date selection in calendar2 to be a minimum of three years out from Calendar1. I would like an alert message to pop up in Calendar2 should the user select a date inside of my three year minimum. Am I even in the ballpark with the following:

If Trim(Calendar2.Value) < (Calendar1.Value + "not sure here") Then
Calendar2.SetFocus
MsgBox "Select End Date 3 Years Out From Start date", vbExclamation

Limit Cell Entry To Two Decimal Places Or Whole Number?

May 29, 2014

content from form is captured via formulas to a CIMLoad format on another tab

Users keep entering four to six decimal places in weight value

I need to limit the cell to either whole numbers, or a maximum of 2 decimal places

The cell is formatted to two decimal places, but when you activate the cell it shows the full value they entered, and so does my CIMLoad

How to I limit the value in this cell to whole numbers or numbers with a maximum of two decimal places?

Data Validation Based On Two Criteria

Feb 16, 2009

I need a data validation to prevent entries when they are > 50, but only if the value of another cell in col A is "Payment". The value of 50 is an example, I have another formula to get this number using VLookup.

The idea is that if the value of the cell in col A is "Income", I don't want the entry to be rejected. But if the value in col A is "Payment" or "Transfer" and > 50, I want the entry to be rejected (if I only have $50, then the payment cannot be > 50).

Data Validation And Dropdown List Using Criteria

Jun 1, 2014

It is basically a simple sheet that lists the price (Column C) of different items (Column B) based on their Category (Column A).

I am trying to have an automated pricing sheet (on different sheet) utilizing data validation and drop down lists.

For example each row should have this, the drop down list in the first columns should list all the Categories available (This part works fine for me and i can take care of the duplicates).

Once that has been selected, i have now the option of selecting using drop down list also (in second column) the items corresponding to the Category selected in first column (Only the items that are part of that specific category should be listed in the drop down list).

Once the item has been selected, the price of that respective item should be listed automatically in the 3rd column.

Is it possible? If not do you have any trick, solution, workaround to link a list from one excel file to another?

Data Validation List With Criteria Using Named Range

Oct 30, 2012

I have been tasked with creating a data validation list. My data is contained on a separate sheet from my data validation list. I am using a named range to use the data for my data validation list. However, I am looking to add a criteria to my data validation list so that it only is populated with values based on another column on my data sheet.

For example, if I have a data sheet called "Employee" and I have two columns. Column A is a list of employee names and I have named a range in column A as "EmployeeName". Column B is used to define the category of employee. This value is a letter, for example, "A", "B", "C", or "D". This column does not have a named range as I don't know if I need one to get this to work.

I would like the data validation on one sheet to use a list of employees of a particular class from another sheet. Straight forward validation is easy using a validation list with a formula =EmployeeName. But how do I only list employees that have a category "A"? For some reason, I cannot get some of the formulas I have found while searching this message board to work.

Exceeding 3 Criteria Limit In Conditional Formatting

Jun 6, 2008

The code segment from "Get Around Excels 3 Criteria Limit in Conditional Formatting" works perfectly if I type the variable directly into the cell, but not in a range of cells. That is to say, if I copy the source cell to a range of cells I receive a "Run-time error 13: Type mismatch" error". Is there a way to get around this? This is the code segment I've tried in the worksheet.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim icolor As Integer
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("b2:q53")) Is Nothing Then
Select Case Target
Case "IBBCH", "ibbch"
icolor = 36 'light yellow
Case "OBBCH", "obbch"
icolor = 34 'light turqoise
Case "OBBRDG", "obbrdg"
icolor = 35 'light green
Case "LNCH", "lnch".........................

Validation To Force Cell Format On Entry

Feb 9, 2007

I have a spreadsheet that I add to daily with 3 Columns that are always the same. Name, ID number and Phone Number.

Is there a way to make it so that when other people in my department use this that no matter how they enter the name, it is always formatted the same. No matter they enter the ID number and phone number they are always formatted the same. I've tried some variations of data validation but couldn't get to where I need to be.

Attached is a simple example.
I'd like the name to always be formatted as Smith, Bob
I'd like the ID Number to always be formatted as xxx xx xxx
I'd like the Phone Number to always be formatted as xxx xxx xxxx

Nested Data Validation: Figure A To Enforce Dual Data Validation On A Single Cell?

Aug 19, 2009

I'm trying to figure a to enforce dual data validation on a single cell. That is, I need to restrict the user to entering only a decimal value, only if a particular other cell (say A2) is blank. To put it another way, if A2 is blank, the user can enter a decimal value, but if A2 is not blank, the user cannot enter anything. I can use Data Validation to enforce either the decimal restriction or the ISBLANK, but I'm not sure how to make them work together.
