Can't apply data validation with filter function inside. Is it possible?
- Mar 30, 2021
Sorry, I hadn't thought that one through. The function used to generate the number sequence was
= SEQUENCE(10001, 1, 0, 0.01)
Since 0.01 is not represented as an exact binary number, the error accumulates to finish up at
100.000000000014
For data validation to work, not only do you have to get the 100 to match, the rounding error has to match. Two options appear to work
= SEQUENCE(10001, 1, 0, 1) / 100
= ROUND( SEQUENCE(10001, 1, 0, 0.01), 2 )
The Quantity validation is generating correct list,
But I can't enter that no. manually. It can be entered only through the dropdown list.
Why is that? Can it be solved?
