MS Office Forum / Excel / Worksheet Functions / September 2007Allowing Only Certain Entrees
I am using the spreadsheet as a tracking mechanism, how do I format a cell so it will only take a certain entry. For example, the formula is set to only count s1 or s2 or s4. If someone hits s5 one data entry, I want the cell to reject it. Thanks Data validation. Look in Help.
