    Re: data validation formula

    ooops you wanted to NOT allow those characters, correct?

    =COUNTIFS($J$13:$J$20,"*"&C4&"*")=0
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)

    Re: data validation formula

    Hello fdibbins,
    your formula works only with one character
    with more than 1 character does not work.

    =CONTA.PIŁ.SE($J$13:$J$20;"*"&C4&"*")=0
    =COUNTIFS($J$13:$J$20,"*"&C4&"*")=0
