----------------------------------------------------------
Are you ready to take your data validation skills to the next level in Excel? Join us in this tutorial where we dive into the realm of custom data validation formulas. Learn how to create advanced validation rules and ensure data accuracy like never before.
In this video, we explore the power of custom data validation formulas and cover three practical examples:
Validating if the first character is a letter, followed by four numbers.
Verifying if the first two characters are "IT," followed by four numbers.
Checking if the first two characters are letters, followed by four numbers.
Step by step, we'll guide you through creating comprehensive data validation formulas using essential Excel functions like LEFT, RIGHT, LEN, AND, ISNUMBER, and VALUE. You'll gain a deep understanding of the logic behind custom formulas and how to implement them effectively.
Throughout the tutorial, we'll share tips and tricks for advanced data validation in Excel, empowering you to make the most of this powerful feature. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced user, this video will equip you with the knowledge and skills to create robust custom data validation formulas.
Join us as we unlock the potential of data validation and elevate your Excel proficiency. Get ready to master advanced techniques, streamline your data entry process, and ensure data integrity with custom data validation formulas.

Very helpful.
Thank you Dinesh! :)
I thought I knew everything about excel, but this is new to me...
There are sooo many things in Excel, it never ends
Wow! really cool!
U can also check the video in the description about basic data validation
Amazing Amazing
Thank u :)
Is there a way that I can require the user to input a certain entry (like a list) in just the first 6 characters, but the total number of digits can be anything? For example, first 6 digits must be R08842 or R55457, but the remaining characters can be anything (eg. R088424259AZ). I know that one way around this is to make 3 columns, set up a list for the first column, no criteria for the user on 2nd column, and combine them in 3rd column, but I'd rather keep it to 1 column for user input if possible.
@bandita445 u need to use custom validation rule like the video. 1 rule is the total num of characters. U can put a min or an exact num of char. Then u have to put a formula for the first 6 char. For example lett(txt, 6)= ...... and u combine the formulas. Have a look at the video and practice. Am sure u ll get the right formula
@@bandita445 ie len(txt)>=6 instead of a specific num of char
@@EXCELWIZARDINMINUTES Thanks! I was able to figure it out, using the same concept as your video with combining them (except I used Or instead of And). My next question, how do I apply that same formula for the whole column? If I select a big range and then set up my Data Validation, they all refer to the same cell (eg cell A2). Instead of having to set up a Data Validation for each cell one by one, is there a way I can do all of them at once, but for it to update the cell?
@bandita445 u must have a prob with the formula u r using. For example a formula like this :=AND(LEN(A1)>=6, LEFT(A1,6)="ABC123")
Can be applied on a whole range. Now if the abc123 is in a diff cell for each data validation, i think u can refer to the top cell and it will work for all. Try...
@@EXCELWIZARDINMINUTES I ended up making my report as a Table first, before doing the Data Validation, and that worked. One of the problems I ran into though is that if I copy/paste my formula into the Data Validation, I get an Error saying that there's a problem with my formula, but if I manually type it the exact way, then it works. Any idea why that is?
