Data Validation for Weekday entries only

[Casey]

Hi.
I have done a google search and can't seem to find a formula for restricting the user input of a range to weekday dates only. Can this be done with Data Validation or do I need VBA code. Either solution would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

I'm not sure if I understand your question properly. Do you mean users will
input dates and you want to make sure that the dates correspond to working
days between Monday - Friday?

If so then you can set-up a validation as follows: Go to
Data->Validation->Settings
formula = WEEKDAY(B17,2)<6

Make sure your analysis toolpak is installed (Tools->Addins->Analysis
Toolpak->Ok)

aristotle,
Despite my ramblings, you hit the nail on the head. Your solution worked perfectly. Here is my formula for the range of cells I wanted to protect.

=WEEKDAY(D20:D119,2)<6

Many Thanks.
