Hi,
I want to limit the number of responses from my custom list.
For example if i a have list which have Yes & No and i want to restrict the number of times where Yes drop down menu can be selected.
Can you please help.
Thanks in advance
See the attached sample workbook. You are allowed to select 'Yes' at most 5 times.
There is VBA code in the worksheet module. Right-click the sheet tab and select 'View Code' to inspect the code, and to change the number of times 'Yes' can be selected, if you wish.
You'll have to allow macros when you open the workbook.
