    Formulas for Error Messages?

    Hi there,

    I wondered if someone could help.

    So I have Some drop down boxes on my spread sheet

    So when a user selects "sport" and "petrol" at the same time, I would like to display an error message.

    Does anyone know if there's a formula for it or anything? I know errors can be done through data validation, but it seems like it only works for if a user tries to input their own option.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you for your reply. I know this probably sounds REALLY stupid (I'm a rookie!!) but where do I put the above?
