    Re: Help request data validation

    Try this out

    =AND(COUNTIF($L$2:$L$5000,L2)=1,ISNUMBER(L2),L2>0)

    Your formula will restrict duplicate entries but not letters..

    However, this formula will restrict numbers < 1, along with restriction towards entering any letters and duplicates..

    Hope it helps!

    Maybe:


    =AND(L2>0,COUNTIF($L$2:$L$5000,L2)=1)
