    MsgBox if data entered in range is not numeric

    Hi,

    I would like to have a Msgbox appearing if the user enters data that is not numeric.

    This should only apply for cells K2:K40

    Any help is much appreciated,
    Kbka

    Hi,

    Select the range, then goto the Data validation.
    Select Decimal option and choose max and min range for the numeric values.
    Then goto to Input Message tab and put the Title and Error message you want to display and finally click OK.

    Hope it will help you.

    Regards

    You can use Data Validation for that.

    Select cells K2 to K40. Then, on the Data Ribbon, choose Data Validation. Choose Whole Number or Decimal and choose what limits you want.

    You're welcome. Thanks for the rep.


    If you want to use code, you could use a Worksheet Change event monitoring cells K2 to K40.
