    Data validation on Pass or Fail without using the list

    Dear Expert,

    Do you have any idea how to get a data validation without using list?
    Just using Pass/P or Fail/F

    For example,
    Column A Column B
    Report 001 PASS/P
    Report 002 FAIL/F

    Hope to hear from you soon.
    Thanks.

    Re: Data validation on Pass or Fail without using the list

    If you want to restrict entry to either Pass or Fail, 1st select List under Allow, then for Source, enter "Pass", "Fail"
    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

    Re: Data validation on Pass or Fail without using the list

    Hi FDibbins,

    Thanks for your reply.

    It is a normal to use a list as data validation. How do I use data validation without using the list under Allow, but just key in PASS or P / FAIL or F?

    Hope to hear from you soon.

    Nice to hear it works.
    Anyway, without dropdown list, users may confuse because they dont know what to type in that cell.

    Dear bebo021999,

    Use Input Message at the data validation for each cell.

    Dear bebo021999,

    Too happy until i have a small query.

    How to fix the only this format "Pass" or "Fail" rather than this format "PASS" or "FAIL"?

    Thanks.

    EXACT will help :

    =OR(EXACT(B2,"Pass"),EXACT(B2,"Fail"))
