    Custom data validation

    Hi,
    Trying to get my head around custom data validation formulas.

    My understanding is that the formula must return either a TRUE or FALSE answer?

    Would appreciate if someone could clarify whether this understanding is accurate.

    Thats about it. If a CF formula, applying to a particular cell returns TRUE, then the CF will be implemented in that cell.

    so, =A1>3

    will not apply formatting if A1 contains 1,2 or 3, but will if it contains 3 or more.
