Data Validation
Can anyone help me validate a column to allow only text and spaces. No
punctuation. I used this below and was able to get only text but it also prevents spaces. =SUMPRODUCT(--(ISNUMBER(MATCH(CODE(MID(A1,ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN( A1))),1)),ROW(INDIRECT("97:122")),0))))+SUMPRODUCT (--(ISNUMBER(MATCH(CODE(MID(A1,ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN( A1))),1)),ROW(INDIRECT("65:90")),0))))=LEN(A1) |

Just copy and paste the following into the worksheet code module that you are working with. Hope that does it for ya.... Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) Dim MyString As String Dim ChrCnt As Integer Dim MyColumn As Integer 'Set your column number in the next line by changing the 'number 2 after the = sign to the column you want... MyColumn = 2 'Check to see if this is even the cell we want If Target.Column = MyColumn Then 'If the cell is blank then allow it and skip the rest If Target = "" Then Exit Sub End If ChrCnt = Len(Target) Do Until ChrCnt = 0 MyString = Mid(Target, ChrCnt, 1) If Asc(MyString) = 65 And Asc(MyString) = 90 Or _ Asc(MyString) = 97 And Asc(MyString) = 122 Or _ MyString = " " Then Else 'You may change the message displayed by editing the _ 'text found in quotes on the next line of code. MsgBox "Illegal entry Attempted", vbExclamation, _ "Text Only Allowed" Target = "" Exit Sub End If ChrCnt = ChrCnt - 1 Loop End If End Sub |

Hi
If you just add the extra case for Space - Code(32) - then this seems to work =SUMPRODUCT(--(ISNUMBER(MATCH(CODE(MID(A1,ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN( A1))),1)),ROW(INDIRECT("97:122")),0))))+SUMPRODUCT (--(ISNUMBER(MATCH(CODE(MID(A1,ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN( A1))),1)),ROW(INDIRECT("65:90")),0))))+SUMPRODUCT(--(ISNUMBER(MATCH(CODE(MID(A1,ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN( A1))),1)),ROW(INDIRECT("32:32")),0))))=LEN(A1) -- Regards Roger Govier "Kimberly" wrote in message ...
