Hi
I need to validate both the input and result cells. How is this possible?

e.g I need to source material from North, East and West - the total of which needs to be 100%. Now, I have given validation list for North and East so I can pick up any % from these 2 regions. West is (100%-(North+East)). But the problem is:

1. North and East together shall not exceed 100%
2. West should not be a negative number

Scenario -1: Correct
<TABLE style="WIDTH: 105pt; BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse" cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width=140 border=0><COLGROUP><COL style="WIDTH: 57pt; mso-width-source: userset; mso-width-alt: 2779" width=76><COL style="WIDTH: 48pt" width=64><TBODY><TR style="HEIGHT: 12pt" height=16><TD class=xl65 style="BORDER-RIGHT: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-TOP: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-LEFT: windowtext 0.5pt solid; WIDTH: 57pt; BORDER-BOTTOM: windowtext 0.5pt solid; HEIGHT: 12pt; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #66ffff" width=76 height=16>Sourcing from</TD><TD class=xl68 style="BORDER-RIGHT: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-TOP: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-LEFT: windowtext; WIDTH: 48pt; BORDER-BOTTOM: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #66ffff" width=64>% sourced</TD></TR><TR style="HEIGHT: 12pt" height=16><TD class=xl66 style="BORDER-RIGHT: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-TOP: windowtext; BORDER-LEFT: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-BOTTOM: windowtext 0.5pt solid; HEIGHT: 12pt; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" height=16>North</TD><TD class=xl64 style="BORDER-RIGHT: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-TOP: windowtext; BORDER-LEFT: windowtext; BORDER-BOTTOM: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow" align=right>90%</TD></TR><TR style="HEIGHT: 12pt" height=16><TD class=xl66 style="BORDER-RIGHT: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-TOP: windowtext; BORDER-LEFT: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-BOTTOM: windowtext 0.5pt solid; HEIGHT: 12pt; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" height=16>East </TD><TD class=xl64 style="BORDER-RIGHT: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-TOP: windowtext; BORDER-LEFT: windowtext; BORDER-BOTTOM: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow" align=right>10%</TD></TR><TR style="HEIGHT: 12.75pt" height=17><TD class=xl66 style="BORDER-RIGHT: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-TOP: windowtext; BORDER-LEFT: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-BOTTOM: windowtext 0.5pt solid; HEIGHT: 12.75pt; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" height=17>West</TD><TD class=xl67 style="BORDER-RIGHT: windowtext 0.5pt solid; BORDER-TOP: windowtext; BORDER-LEFT: windowtext; BORDER-BOTTOM: windowtext 1pt solid; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" align=right>0%</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

How can I validate the cells with some kind of error-message??

Thanks in advance

What is the Data Validation in the yellow cells? Perhaps it can be modified.

If it is a data validation list in the yellow cells then perhaps you could just use something like this in the 'West cell'?
