    Thumbs up Re-establishing formulas on “text” input for a specific “cell” = original formula act

    See attached worksheet for reference.

    Is it possible (while utilizing the same spreadsheet on a weekly basis) to zero a spreadsheet subsequent to its use. Importantly however, all relevant formulas must remain perfectly intact and will re-establish themselves once relevant data is placed inside an individual cell? In this case, as soon as a “Name” (or even a letter) is referenced inside the “Name” column: H10:H19?

    In other words, the entire sheet is blank bar the top date and respective headings. Once any text is placed inside cells H10:H19, the formulas from the associated Row re-applies itself to the “Week-Start” dates, “Week-End” dates and references a default “Phone” amount for ‘$10’? The Data Validation formulas I’m sure would remain undamaged?

    This would prevent ‘text clutter’ (such as dates extending to the bottom with no apparent referencing or connecting information?

    A seriously big-ask, I realize? Much obliged indeed for your time and consideration?

    Regards & thanx,

    With formulas, the attached is probable as far as you can go.

    Basically, changing existing formulas to add If(cell="","",...)

    meaning if the Name cell is blank in that row, then keep the cell blank, otherwise go ahead with the formula...

    Clearing the Data Validation and manual inputted cells would require VBA programming.
    Where there is a will there are many ways.

    NBVC! You have yet again surpassed all others and provided me with a solution. Marry me!!

    Luckily, no VBA programming necessary; I prefer to have the data validation remain totally intact. I was worried that if I ‘tweaked’ & ‘fiddled’, I’d ruin the ‘recently acquired’ – akin to “Gold” – validation formula (thanx to you of course).

    Thank you sincerely! Once again, I’m amazed at how easy this is for you and I’m outstandingly grateful for the guidance and support.
