custom validation

[Guest]

When a cell is equal to *.0000 I want there to be a warning. So for instance
if A1 was 711200.0000 there should be an error but if it was 711200.4720.197
or just 711200.4720 it should not give an error. Thanks!

Hi
try
=RIGHT(A1,5)<>".0000"
as custom validation rule (Menu: 'Data - Validation'

 

[Guest]

I tried that but it doesn't work, any other ideas? Could it be because of
cell formatting?

Hi
what have you entered exactly and what cell are you using for it

tjb,

Use the custom formula:

=MID(A1,FIND(".",A1)+1,4)<>"0000"
