I have a workbook that asks quite a few questions restricted with data validations. For the ones with Whole Number or Decimal Validations I would like to give the users some help since the min & max would not be the same per question. I want to have VBA loop through every cell in the column where they could enter responses and set a "Note/Comment" on the cell that tells what type of validation is required, and the Min & Max they can enter so they dont have to just keep trying numbers until they figure out what the range is set to. I have everything working as expected, but I just cannot figure out how to READ the Min & Max that is set on the cell.

The finished note would look like this:


Code:
Validation Type:  Whole Number
Min: 8
Max: 39

I am hoping that this can be automated since I am looking at 300+ cells that this would apply to right now with all different kinds of validation min & max set. Additionally I would add a button the the Admin Form so that somebody other than myself could wipe then re-set all the notes when people other than myself maintain this later on.

Any help to figure out how to read the MIn & Max is appreciated.

Fastest way to copy a worksheet?
Hold down the Ctrl key while dragging tab for Sheet1 to the right. Excel will make a copy of the worksheet.

The Data Validation is all set on the front side from the ribbon button dialog box. Sadly not by VBA where I could reference and pull while it gets set.
