Data Validation to lock a cell based on value in another cell.
Hello Excel Community,
I have a relatively simple spreadsheet with several validation rules and conditional formatting applied.
My data is in a table with headers in Row 1. Table Column E has validation applied as a drop down list with "Y" or "N" as choices. I'm trying to block input in table column F unless the corresponding cell in column E2 equals "Y". I've done so much searching and as far as I can tell the following formula should work:
=AND(E2="Y",E2<>"")
This works as expected if "N" is selected in Column E, but if E is left blank, column F is still open for any value.
What am I doing wrong??

Many thanks!!
