Hi All

This is my first post as i have joined this fantastic Forum.

I am looking for anyone to help me with a problem. I want to run a VBA Macro that will basically search a columns of names and check that each name has letters A(a) to Z(z) and possibly numbers aswell.

So

Bill Smith is valid
Bob5 Craven77 is valid
Alan *??Jones is Invalid

So the third entry would be simply made RED to highlight.

Any help is appreciated

Many thanks

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
A​
B​

Valid?
2​
Bill Smith
TRUE​
3​
Bob5 Craven77

CF formula in A2:A4: =NOT(Zahed(A2))


Code:
Function Zahed(sInp As String) As Boolean
  Zahed = Not sInp Like "*[! 0-9A-Za-z]*"
End Function
