Hello,
im the basic excel user. i have been encountered with the issue where i have to check whether a particular value is present in the cell and prompt the user accordingly..
a1 b1 c1 d1 e1 f1 g1 ............
X DE Z DE L DE M........
-

-
X DE Z DE L DE M........
this is how my entry will look....
The thing i have to validate is if B1 or D1 or any of the column .has the value DE already it should prompt the error message as "DE already exist" when i enter the value as DE in F1..
i can't do this by creating Master formulae as the ROW count increases more than 1000.Configuration: Windows XP
