    Angry Date Validation Not Working

    I'm using Excel 2007 and having an issue with data validation on a date field.

    Goal:
    To only allow a user to enter a date between the range of TODAY()-14 and TODAY() by using the Data Validation feature.

    Problem:
    When entering a valid date within the specified range, Excel displays validation error message stating the entered date is not valid.

    Expected Result:
    The validation error should only show when a user has entered a date that is before TODAY()-14 and after TODAY().

    My Setup:
    1. Cell format: Short Date
    2. Data Validate Settings:
      • Allow: Date
      • Ignore Blanks: Checked
      • Data: Between
      • Start Date: =TODAY()-14
      • End Date: =TODAY()


    Any help on figuring out why Excel displays the validation error message no matter what date is entered, would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Micheal

    Hi

    With that one you are better off putting the formula into two cells then use the cell references with the data validation.

    Hope that helps
