    Question Is there a wayto prevent order more of an item than what they have already turned in?

    Hello,

    I have been searching for a way to accomplish what I am trying to do and can't find it. Here it is:

    Call A1 is "Request Quantity"
    Cell A2 is the "Turn In Quantity"

    Cell A2 (Turn In Quantity) is always filled out before Cell A1 - It can contain any number between 1 and 100.
    Cell A1 (Request Quantity) is always filled out after Cell A1 - It can only contain a Number that is equal to or less than the number entered in Cell A2.

    The goal is to make it where the user fills out the workbook and cannot order more of an item (A1) than what they have already turned in (A2).

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    The problem with my thread title is the same as the problem itself. If there is a way to do what I am wanting to do I dont know what it is called? How can I make a thread title asking for a spcific function or formula if I dont know what that specific function or formula is? If I knew what the specific funtction or formula was then why would I be posting here asking for help in the first place?

    Quiet a conondrum wouldn't you say? I must first ask for help with a specific issue when I dont know the name of the specific issue

    You can rename your thread title to what you are trying to accomplish. For e.g something like Is there a way to prevent order more of an item than what they have already turned in.

    try this:
    select cell A1, add Data Validation,Allow = Whole Numbers,Data = less than or equal to,Maximum =A2

    Hope this helps
    A picture may be worth a thousand words, BUT, a sample Workbook is worth a thousand screenshots!
    -Add a File - click advanced (next to quick post), scroll to manage attachments, click, select add files, click select files, select file, click upload, when file shows up at bottom left, click done (bottom right), click submit
    -To mark thread Solved- go top of thread,click Thread Tools,click Mark as Solved
    If you received helpful response, please remember to hit the * of that post
