    Re: Mixing IF and data validation

    Hi and welcome to the forum

    The syntax for IF() statements is...

    =IF(this-test-is-true, do-this, else-do-that)

    Your "do-this" is a range, but the function is expecting an instruction.

    what exactly are you trying to do?
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    The actual workbook I'm using is ten largely unrelated sheets, here's something boiled down to just my sticking point.
