Hi-

I have created a row with 2 categories and 2 numerical selection lists
The numerical selection list represents a % allocation and goes fro
0-100 in increments of 5 and the goal is to apply a percent of tim
spent on activities in each category.  The sum of the two %allocatio
cells should equal 100 - is there a way to confirm/validate this befor
the user leaves the row??

eg

Row 1   Category 1    %allocation                Category2
%allocation
Row 2   Activity 1      0-100 (selection list)   Activity 2  
0-100(selection list)

Thanks

I don't really see the point of validating it ... or even putting in two
percentages.  If you've only got two things to choose from and you spend x%
of your time doing one of them, you must spend (100-x)% of your time doing
the other one.  By validating, you're just trying to force people to put
50/50 or 40/60 or 30/70 or whatever.

Am I missing something ?

Regards

Trevor

There are actually 4 categories and selections, but for brevity just
explained it as 2
