    prevent pasting wrong values over validated cells

    Hi everyone,

    I've seen some old threads about this issue but I couldn't find a solution.
    this is my problem:
    I have a list with values that users select from and this field has data validation over it.
    the problem is that the users tend to paste their values to make the process faster and by that deleting the validation.
    I would like to let them paste values to this field but only the specific values that are in the list.

    I'm pretty new in VB so if anyone could help with a simple code it would be great!

    thank you so much!

    thank you!

    does this solution allow to paste values that are correct according to the data validation?
    becuase from what I understand, it allows to paste values that have data validation and that is not what I need.
    I need it to allow to paste regular values, but these values have to be correct acoording to the list of the validation.

    thanks again!
