    I need to Prevent Users from Moving to Next Row w/out Entering a Certain Cell

    In my Excel Sheet, I have a column "X" - Is there a formula that I could use/a "macro" or script that would prevent users (or at least display a pop up warning) from entering data in the next row without entering a value in that cell?

    Try Data Validation on the Data tab.
    You can set formulas and warnings if they don't enter the correct data.

    Ensure you describe your problem clearly, I have little time available to solve these problems and do not appreciate numerous changes to them.

    Thanks - I was playing around with that but really want something more like a macro - The desired input is a US Zip Code.

    I tried this macro but it only prevent "saving or closing" the workbook - Really looking for something that will prevent the user from moving on ...

    If Cells(e2).Value = "" Then

    MsgBox "Cell e2 requires user input"

    Cancel = True

    End If
