May 27, 2014I am trying to secure a worksheet using data validation. I want to prevent users pasting over data validation fields, however I want to allow users to be able to still use the copy/paste feature as long as the data is valid.
Attached is a sample that I found on the forums. The current code does not allow any paste functionality.

Data Validation To Prevent Formulas But Allow Zero To Be Entered?
Feb 27, 2013Should be simple but I can't get this to work,
I have used =value(a1) that prevents any formula, but it also prevents a zero being entered.
I have amended trying and/or statements in the validation but then it allows zeros and formulas!
Prevent Empty Cell With Data Validation
Nov 17, 2007I'm looking for a formula which will enable typing (in cell A1) positive numbers between 0-1000000 but will prevent the user from leaving that cell in an empty state. Empty cell means: cell with space(s) or deleting the legitimate value that is, already, in it).
I must emphasize that I know how to handle this by VBA code and/or by using a "named" pre-defined list of values + un-checking the "ignore empty cell" option - but I would like to know, once and for all, the solution WITHOUT using Macro and/or 'List' (if any..)
I tried that, without success:
=AND(A1>=0,A1<=100000,NOT(ISBLANK(A1))
Prevent Copy Paste Over Data Validation Cell?
Mar 27, 2009I set up a spread*** with drop-down menus for some of the cells. The user can only select values from that list and an error message pops up when something is typed it that is not in the list (via Data Validation
Error Alert).
So this works all fine ... except if the user copies and pastes a cell with a different drop-down menu into a cell overwriting the existing validation.
I cannot totally lock the work*** and if I lock the cells with the drop-down menus nothing can be changed. So how can I prevent this from happening? Is there a way to block all copy/paste operations that are copying the validation? I know that with the Paste Special I can have cells copied without the validation.

Jan 5, 2014This is my data validation formula:
=INDIRECT(VLOOKUP(H104,cat_opt_Table,3,FALSE))
Some of the lists will have up to 200 lines in them and I'd like to find a way to simply to jump to the first letter entered in the data validation cell.
Does the list need to be alphabetized?
Could it be something that is entered into the data validation box? This spreadsheet has data validation in 35 columns.

Validation Formula To Prevent Spaces In Cell
Apr 27, 2007I am in need of 2 validation macros (formulas) to enter into the validation criteria formula box when creating a custom validation.
1. A formula that will generate an error if there is a space in the text entry. Example:060107_Halo3CG prev.mpg would be an invalid entry due to the space after CG.
2. The same formula as above but this one also needs a 50 character limit added to the criteria.

Complex Character Combination Validation Code
Dec 15, 2009I really need a validation code for Cell B15. I realize that a macro could do this, but a validation code is what I really would need:
Cell B15 can only allow at least one of the following values, or two or more of the following values separated by '&' (Note the spaces between the digits):
I
I I
I I I
IV
IA
I IA
I I IA
IVA
or (some combination examples):
IA & I I I
I I & I I IA
I VA & I IA
If the user fails to meet these requirements, then he should get an error message telling him to try again.
Nested Data Validation: Figure A To Enforce Dual Data Validation On A Single Cell?
Aug 19, 2009I'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.

Append All Digits Before Character To All Numbers Between The Same Character
May 18, 2008I have got a list of numeric abbreviations, for instance 10739011/21/31/41. What it should really display are the numbers 10739011, 10739021, 10739031 and 10739041 (the first six figures stay the same). All the numbers in my list are 8 figures long. I want to change the list from the list seperated by the backward slash to the complete numbers. I have uploaded an example of the list with backward slash between the numbers. Is there a way that Excel can automatically change these numbers to the full numbers?
Because all the numbers are 8 figures long, I thought the first 6 figures of the 1st number can be copied and those 6 figures pasted before the other two figures after the backslash. Auto Merged Post Until 24 Hrs Passes;sorry, pressed OK too quickly. The problem is that there are sometimes 4 numbers in the cell, sometimes 6 and once three. I would like Excel to complete all the numbers in the cell and then move on to the cell underneath it and so on. Also, I would like each number to have it's own cell.
Prevent Pasting Data Into Worksheet
Aug 3, 2006I work in a correctional centre. Some of the correctional officers have
little training to use Excel or other programs, but are required to complete
spreadsheets on line. Although we have heavily protected the worksheets and
locked cells, we find that in some cases the staff can still mess up the
worksheets by copying and pasting data inappropriately.
Is there a way to turn off the ability to paste data into the worksheet, and
to force each field to be completed manually? This would eliminate the
problem.
How To Prevent Duplicate Data Being Pasted
Jan 14, 2013I have a worksheet that you can enter in
Forename, Surname, Area, D.O.B
This has a macro assigned that copies the data and pastes it into another worksheet at the next available row.
Now this works fine, but I want to be able to identify if the data already exists in the other worksheet then prevent it from being pasted and give an error message that the person already exists in the database.
Is this possible?
Prevent Entering In Wrong Data
Aug 6, 2008[code]...
Above is what I hav already, I was thinking it would help if each card had an additional field added that told you if the contents were valid. This could also say empty if all fields were blank. This field could for example use an if statement to check that you have entered a VS, a start date a project name. It could also check that if you have entered a completion date you also enter review loops. This could be in large red text so it is obvious to someone completing a card that they have not yet filled in all necessary data.

View 4 Replies View RelatedPrevent PivotTable Refresh Showing New Data
Feb 18, 2009I have about 10 pivot tables that only have one Pivot Field Item Selected (i.e., Jane Smith) with dates as column fields and a sum for data items. Everytime I refresh the pivot tables and there is a new person in the data tab (which is the data the pivot table is referenced to), the new name populates in the pivot table. I am sure I could include all of the names in one pivot table, but there is a long explanation why I only keep one name per pivot table in this particular workbook.
Attached is an example. As you can see, when you refresh the pivot table, the new name (Jason Smith) which I added to the data tab, will be included in the pivot table.
I am trying to figure out if there is way either with VBA or without VBA to prevent all of the pivot tables in the workbook to not select any new Pivot Field Items when I refresh the pivot tables.
