I can't figure out the syntax to my problem. I have a column that
varies in length for each use. It contains product descriptions and
once entered in excel, it will be uploaded into our inventory
management system. The system has a few constraints for a Product
Description:
1 - Product Descriptions can have no more than 32 characters (I
protected against that with cell validation)
2 - Product Descriptions cannot have the characters - commas, double
quotes and ampersands
I have a macro for when a user enters a value cell by cell, but I can't
seem to tweak it to force the user to change those characters if they
copied a range of cells into the column. Any thoughts?
Thanks
