I searched more than 100 formulas but this one is the BEST. Thank you....

The function =ISTEXT() allows for non-alphabetical characters to be input into a cell. And =ISNUMBER() also allow for characters that are not strictly numbers but which construct numbers, such as decimal points (periods). So, if you really want to limit the input to just text or number characters, you should use the formula in the tutorial or a similar formula. Plus, the formula in the video allows for a great deal of customization as far as which characters to allow.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! This is the only one that works after more than 50links!

thank you for your help

Try something like this: /free-excel-macros/m-54,delete-text-from-cells.html at the teachexcel website. I can't put links here, you really need to go to the forum so you can get a more complete answer that could also include an attached worksheet with a working macro sample. But, try the macro above and see if that works.

Thank you sir, i've been looking for this for a while, but there is a problem The issue is i want all the cells in D column to type only alphabet but also to be a minimum of 3 letters and maximum of 10 letters in each cell not more or less. If I use the formula you've showed in the video it does restrict to letters but will allow to type as much as they want? Can you help me please if possible?

Great tutorial...but how do I do the same thing with a range of cells or a group of cell ranges....I have tried a few way I thought would work, but I cannot get it to work properly....please help....

This is really much much easier to solve on the forum excelkey.com, where you can include a sample.

how we put validation on our word that word should contain at least 3 and not more than 30, can you tell me formula

Could I use this with ImportHTML and how?

The formula doesn't allow for periods in decimal value numbers. I tried adding the period to the formula but it gave me the error because of the txt value (the period)

hi! how does it work if we've to enter some specific words? lets say words like "good" and "bad"

how to allow the cell only text/numbers without show any error. Ex; if user type number in the text cell means it wont display

I have a question please how Separate figures from characters within the same cell by using functions

Just trying to add the numbers -0.50,-0.75 and excel keeps trying to turn that into a formula instead of just accepting it as text. =ISTEXT() and =ISNUMBER() both don't work.

Dear Sir/Madam , Actually When I Type Suppose 5 Its Coming 0.5 Why Its Comingn Like That Can U Answer Me. Thank You

How can we able to show "vowels" in any name we enter??

Word to the wise, this method does NOT prevent special characters. For example, if you are only trying to allow a-z, the user can still type in [;'[];[.;ABCD and they will not get prompted with the validation message. Best solution here is to learn VBA and code yourself a little worksheet_change event to target your cell(s) :)

I think use istext & isnumber easier and achieve the correct result

Hello, how can i force the cell to take formulas only

What if I only want to allow dates, what condition should I enter???

Question: how about any whole number greater and equal to 0, and only allow letter X to be input?

You can do whatever you want with custom formulas in data validation - just make sure the result of the formula evaluates to True or False

how do I restrict a column to allow only 8,12,13,14 digit number values to be entered into each cell

You can use List in Validation, so the user can only choose from these numbers.

Where did you get the formula from? It's copied and pasted, and not explained where it is copied from!

I have a problem because there is no space between the numbers and letters

Look at this tutorial and see if it helps: watch?v=zghj4leb2dg Otherwise, can you be more specific?

Are you talking about the formula or the keyboard shortcut (Alt+D+L)? If you have a more specific question, you can always ask on our forum and upload a sample file: www.teachexcel.com/talk/microsoft-office?src=yt

why your way is complicated? It's too easy hust uses =isnumber() in the data validation under customs
