    Hi Excel Experts,

    I did not try to analysis your sheet, but maybe a helper column would work, then add the cells in the helper column, for example:
    In C9 I entered.
    Formula: copy to clipboard

    My first thought was to expand your data validation, but I do not use data validation at all, so I am not very good at it. Your current data validation is "allow values from the 'choose' list". If you can expand the data validation (probably through the custom option using a likely complex formula) so that "If $B$10="yes" don't allow anything to be entered, otherwise allow a value from 'choose' to be entered". I am not very good at it, but, with that custom formula option, you can build a pretty complex formula to check combinations of values and restrict entry based on some pretty complex criteria.

    My first thought might be something like =IF($B$10="yes",B11="",COUNTIF(choose,B11)>=1)

    @MrShorty - that is an excellent suggestion - avoids VBA which is the way my mind was heading

    and perhaps for your next worksheet, something like this:

    - place a button over cell C7 and ensure it obscures the whole cell
    (C7 will carry a value of "yes" or "no")
    - add Data Validation to cell B7
    - Data Validation formula could be:
    =C7="yes"
    (which only allows input if value "yes" is in cell C7)

    - assign code below to the button

    Button caption is the opposite of the value sitting in cell C7
    Suggest that C7 should default to "no" when form is blank
