Excel Facts

Lock one reference in a formula
Need 1 part of a formula to always point to the same range? use $ signs: $V$2:$Z$99 will always point to V2:Z99, even after copying
This should get you started:
Book1
BCDE
1
2YesNo
3NoYes
4
5
Sheet1


As for Data Validation, here's a suggestion to get you started:

Select Column C (or wherever the Yes/No values will be put). On the "Data" menu select "Validation...". On the Settings tab, choose "List" in the Allow field, and type "Yes, No" in the Source field (without the quotation marks). This is an easy way to allow only the values of Yes and No.

Without going into VBA code, I'm not sure how to disable other cells based on the Yes or No value that is given.

thanks

thanks for that,

Would it help to put the validation in column E so that if a person tried to enter a value in the column a message could read "please answer cells c2/d2"

Thanks
