Dear All
I have a column in which I input ID numbers. The data validation checks for the correct format as well as for duplication of numbers in the same column.
This works fine until ID numbers with leading zeroes are input, the validation formula rejects this number,
Below is the validation formula as well as the sample ID number that is rejected by the formula:
=AND(ISNUMBER(F8),LEN(F8)=13,COUNTIF($F$8:$F$701,F8)<=1)
and
0003115218087
The column is also formatted to display the ID Number as follows, 000000" "0000" "000
Could I please ask for assistance with a variation of the validation formula above to accept numbers with leading zeroes?
Thanks
Peter
