Some Excel help - Data validation using name ranges - force option if "False"
- Apr 30, 2019
can mark this as resolved.. had to use a VBA script which is something i just learned today
for anyone it may potentially help who googled and found this however I've added what I used above
you go into VBA (Alt+F11), choose the worksheet you want
click the "change" option on the right side
and add the code below:
If Target.Address = "$C$4" Then
Range("E28").Value = "Please Select..."End If
(change the cell values to match the ones you need..)
thanks for the reply, the reason I done the true and false is because if its 590 or over I want the user to have the ability to select Yes or No, but if under 590 then the cell to automatically update to No
is this possible with the formula you referenced do you think?
Many things are possible, that does not necessarily mean they are a good idea. It is only too easy to get caught out by one's own 'cleverness' at a later date! Using Booleans rather than strings probably is a good idea but the number formatting within conditional formats is a step too far.
