    Data Validation Alert with Formula

    Hi.

    I am aware that the alert box with data validation does not work if it contains a formula. (ie. alert box appearing if a formula turns up a number greater than 8).

    Is there a way around this or another way to get a pop up box if the formula calculates a number greater than 8?!?

    Thanks for your help!

    Is it possible to do it for more than one cell. For example, if cells B4:L4 equal more than 8 that the alert pop up?
