Hello All,
I want to restrict entry to cells to only 7 letters (combination thereof though each character can appear once). I have been using this formula successfully for 5 characters (=LEN(SUBSTITUTE((SUBSTITUTE((SUBSTITUTE((SUBSTITUTE((SUBSTITUTE(UPPER(R2),"R","",1)),"I","",1)),"E","",1)),"A","",1)),"F","",1))=0) though when i add another two characters (G and Y), the validation rules breaks down and doesn't validate anymore. I guess i am reaching the limits of the validation input formula.
So any better way to do this, with VBA or another magic formula which can do the job.
thanks,
Ed
