    Limit value of multiple cells based on a maximum amount

    Sorry if my title description is poor. I have 4 cells. D10 - D14. Between all 4 cells the maximum they can add up to (combined) is 8. The minimum is 0. I have also created a cell called Max # (I10). How can I make this happen? It's just a rule I need to help employees stay with in certain specifications. Thanks.

    Try this...

    Select the range D10:D14
    Goto Data>Data Validation
    Allow: Custom
    Formula:

    =AND(COUNT(D10),D10>=0,SUM(D$10:D$14)<=8)
