    Data validation for specific text and numbers

    Hi All,

    I wish to have data validation to allow only text & number. I would only want 1, 0, OUTSOURCE. This worksheet also have conditional formatting where it marks 0=X, 1=√

    Please find attachment.

    Thank-You very much

    On the Settings tab of the Data Validation dialogue box you should choose List in the Allow box and then type this in the Source box:

    0,1,OUTSOURCE

    You can choose whether you want an In-cell drop-down (or not).

    Hope this helps.

    Pete

    Hi Pete,

    I never thought of just to have a dropdown list instead. Too much focus on formula .
    Your input taken.

    Will just close this thread mark to SOLVED.

    Thank-You very much

    Glad to help, and thanks for feeding back. It's very easy to overlook the simple way to do things.
