    Hi
    You can use Data Validation with an error message. You dont need a VLOOKUP formula.

    Hi
    I have added an error message using Data Validation to your third column.
    See attached workbook.
    Good luck.

    @ ARGK,

    Thank you Tony, but I have already done that in the WorkBook as per Post # 2, and again in Post # 5.

    From the TimeStamp of our last two Posts, it would appear that we were having a go at it, at more or less the same time.

    Thank you for helping here as well.
