hi

i have cell A6:A20 . I will fill data downward into each cell from A6 to A20.
If someone are skipping row by entering the key button and let the cell empty (eg skip A7 and fill A8). Is there any way to stop and warn message like "YOU MUST FILL THIS CELL" and stop operation like data validation do.

thank you

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
Data Validation can be defeated if users copy/paste data but if this is just a reminder to the user who might accidentally skip one or more cells, then you can use Data Validation.
Select A6:A20 and in Data Validation, Allow: Custom, Formula: =COUNTBLANK(A$6:A6)=0, OK

There is data validation before in the cell. Do we apply 2 times?

Probably not.
What sort of values are you entering in the cells & what DV do you already have in the range?
