Hello
I have been successful combining IF statements with Validation rules so
that the value in one cell determines what the Validation list is in
another cell.
eg. If cell A1="Weekday", the validation list for B1 is (Mon, Tue,
Wed, Thr, Fri)
If cell A1="Weekend", the validaion list for B1 is (Sat, Sun)
But changes can be made to cell A1 that make the value in B1 now
invalid.
eg. If I select A1="Weekend", then B1="Sat", if I now change
A1="Weekday", B1 will still stay as an invalid entry "Sat".
I know I can use the Audting toolbar to "Show Invalid Entries" to
circle all invalid entries, but it too is NOT dynamic. eg. It will not
automatically remove the red circle from cells when you go ahead and
choose a valid entry. You need to press the "Circle Invalid Data"
button each time you make a correction to check if the data is now
valid.
In the case where cell A1 is changed making the value in cell B1
invalid (like in the example above), I want cell B1 to
automatically/dynamically change from being an invalid entry to a value
such as "<select value>", prompting the user to now select a valid
entry from the pull down list.
Can this be done?
