Data Validation - Custom

[Guest]

How do I use the custom validation. I want to enter a validation which does
not allow the cells in column G to be more than the cell on the same row in
column E + 50.

I have selected all the cells, gone to Data Menu, Validation. Then on the
Settings tab picked Custom and then need to type the formula. I’ve treid a
few but can’t seem to get it right.

Try this:
With G1 as the active cell....
Data>Data Validation
Allow: Custom
Formula: =G1<=(E1+50)


Does that help?

Mary Ann,

Select G1, Data>Validation, Custom type and add a formula of

=G1<=E1+50

Then select the other cells including G1, go back to Data>Validation,
and you will get a message asking to extend. Say yes.
