Is there a formula for the entire column that I can use for validation? I would like to have validation between 0000 and 2359 and to include one word. I know I can make a list but I was seeing if a formula or vba might work. XL2003

Thanks

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
Not sure I understand what you mean...But I think this is what you want...

In A1 put

="OneWord " & TEXT(ROWS(A$1:A1),"0000")

Then copy/fill it down to A2359

Hello Rob,

Are the numbers time values, do you mean to say 00:00 and 23:59 or do you want them without the colon? If it's the latter would 2299 be allowed, I presume not.....

Barry, that's a good point. I wasn't thinking clearly. I have column B formatted so the users can type in just the time without the ":". I currently have validation in that column of whole number 0000 to 2359.

I need to set up validation for time values of 0000 to 2359 and the word "CNX".

Should I just make a list or is there some other way of doing it?
