    Warning message/box if cell over value

    Hi,

    I have a range of cells and I would like a warning message to pop up if a value over 0.1 is entered. I'm sure it is pretty easy to do, just can't find any info on here and I'm not great with Excel.

    Thanks for your help,
    Thomas

    Perhaps you can use Data Validation..

    Select the range of cells and go to Data|Validation.

    Select Decimal from the Allow drop down menu

    and then select Less than or equal to from the Decimal drop down.

    and enter 0.1 in the Maximum field.

    You can further select the Error tab to enter your own error message.

    Click ok to finish.

    Now when somebody types a value greater than 0.1 in any of those cells, they will get a warning
    Where there is a will there are many ways.
