    Unhappy Data validation - list & custom

    I currently have a table which includes cells with drop down lists, however I want to be able to determine what cells can be filled out - for example if column A = Pending then if you try and enter information into column B it won't be accepted, but if column A = Shipped then information can be entered into column B but it still has to be selected from the drop down list in column B. Is there a way to do this? TIA

    Welcome to the forum.

    Yes, however ...

    There are instructions at the top of the page explaining how to attach your sample workbook.

    A good sample workbook has just 10-20 rows of representative data that has been desensitised. It also has expected results mocked up, relevant cells highlighted and a few explanatory notes.

    Administrative Note:

    There is no 2201 VERSION (it's a release number).

    Members will tailor the solutions they offer to the version of Office (Excel) that you have. Please check that your forum profile is up-to-date in this respect. If you aren't sure, in Excel go to File | Account and report what it says below the MS logo at the top of that page. If your version is for Mac, please also state this. Thanks.
