How do I stop a cell from accepting a negative number and display an error message?

Thanks for any input.
 

Excel Facts

Pivot Table Drill Down
Double-click any number in a pivot table to create a new report showing all detail rows that make up that number

Goto Data-->Validation-->Settings-->Allow--Whole Number-->Data-->Greater Than-->Minimum-->0. Then Enter your message on the Error Alert tab.

Hope that helps,
