    Re: validation rule

    You can create a list with the names, and the number of occurrences
    allowed. For example:

    John 2
    Tony 1

    Name this range, e.g. LookupList

    Then, in the data validation dialog box, use a formula that refers to
    this list. For example:

    =COUNTIF($B$1:$B$16,B1)<=VLOOKUP(B1,LookupList,2,0)

    Hi Team,

    unfortunately in the roster I have 2 ranges
    say
    the names - andrew can go in a1:a10, charles can go in a15:a20 but not both
    also tony can go in a1:10, abdul can go in a15:20, but not both

    Perhaps, if you clearly outline all the rules, someone will be able to
    help you with a data validation formula.

    Sorry I'll try to explain what I need - in the roster there are two ranges in which a person's name is placed. However in one range their full name is placed and in the other range their initials are placed. there name can only by placed once (either their full name or their initials)
    (initials are used in one range as the cells are too small for their full name)

    ie.

    range 1. A1:A5 - names thus - joe blogs, tom jones
    range 2. c10:c20 - initials thus jb , tj

    joe blogs and jb are the same person, tom jones and tj are the same person.

    thanks

    andrewm
