    Data Validation Information Alert

    Hello

    Is it possible to have an information alert through data validation when a cell reaches certain values. Cell C5 is populated by results in other cells. When the value in C5 equals 5,15,25 I want the alert to activate. I have tried custom in the data validation menu but can't get it to work.

    Thanks

    You would need VBA in the worksheet module to pop up a messagebox.

    You could use conditional formatting...

    =AND(MOD(A1,5)=0,NOT(ISBLANK(A1)))
    Rule 1: Never merge cells
    Rule 2: See rule 1
