    I do not see data validation anywhere in your file. Also, the formula you gave returns a single Boolean value, not a list, so I am not seeing how you are using that as a data validation list. Can you attach a version where you say it is working?

    If you are simply trying to stop non-numeric values in the Min column use =ISNUMBER(A2)

    Hi,

    thank you.

    Go to Data Validation and see:

    i do not know but this function:

    If you are simply trying to stop non-numeric values in the Min column use =ISNUMBER(A2)
    this formula is creating circular reference and i do not know why.

    Best,
    Jacek

    Perhaps if you explain what you are trying to do - instead of what isnt working - we can offer better advice?
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    Here's your file with fluff's suggestion (which couldn't cause a circular reference).
