Customized cell validation!

[Kim-Anh Tran]

How do I set Customized validation to allow first alpha two digits an
follow by two numeric digits. (Like CN15)
Thank you for your help!

Here is some worksheet event code

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim fOK As Boolean

On Error GoTo ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Not Intersect(Target, Me.Range("A1:A10")) Is Nothing Then
With Target
fOK = False
If Len(.Value = 4) Then

If UCase(Left(.Value, 1)) >= "A" And _
UCase(Left(.Value, 1)) <= "Z" Then

If UCase(Mid(.Value, 2, 1)) >= "A" And _
UCase(Mid(.Value, 2, 1)) <= "Z" Then

If Mid(.Value, 3, 1) >= 0 And _
Mid(.Value, 3, 1) <= 9 Then

If Mid(.Value, 4, 1) >= 0 And _
Mid(.Value, 4, 1) <= 9 Then

fOK = True

End If
End If
End If
End If
End If
End With
If Not fOK Then
MsgBox "Invalid value"
End If
End If

ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

try this:

=(LEFT(A1,1)>="A")*(MID(A1,2,1)>="A")*(MID(A1,3,1)<="9")*(RIGHT(A1,1)<="9")*(LEN(A1)=4)
