    If a cell contains "Yes", another cell MUST be filled, else, another cell cannot be filled

    Hi All

    I have in cell B2 a drop-down list with "Yes" or "No", I need to make a criteria to do the following:

    If B2 = "Yes", then C2 & D2 & E2,.... MUST be filled (From a Drop-Down lists if needed too).
    Edit

    and if I tried to move from C2 to any other cell, I need an Error Message tells me that "You MUST fill in this cell"

    End Edit

    If B2 = "No", then C2, D2, E2,.... CANNOT be filled at all.


    Is there any way to do so without VBA?

    Thanks in advance.

    There is no non-VBA method to stop you from moving from 1 cell to another (that I know of), formulas can only affect the cell they are in, not other cells.

    You could maybe use Data Validation to prevent a cell from having data entered in another cell does not contain something
    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
