    Start Date and End Date Condition Checking Data Validation Drop Down List

    I have 2 drop down cells, 1 for start date and 1 for end date. How do I lock the cells so that start date < end date and end date > start date ? I am successful in doing this for generic cells, but unable to do for the drop down cells in date format.

    Would be glad for your revert.

    Re: Start Date and End Date Condition Checking Data Validation Drop Down List

    I would think possibly setting the drop down validation list to only list the dates that are acceptable would be the way to go.

    Something like the attached, using a secondary list of dates as the actual DV list, should get you thinking.
