    Hi Chandoo. Great tutorial! I did the shrinking Data Validation List formula this way: =SORT(FILTER(players,COUNTIFS(D6:D11,players)=0)). So, eliminated the need for NOT() by making the TRUE condition that the COUNTIFS result = 0. Just another way to get there. Thanks for sharing your tips and tricks :)) Thumbs up!!

    • @chandoo_
      @chandoo_  3 года назад +4

      Nice work! I should have used =0 check as that is easier to explain. Sometimes you miss the obvious ones. :)

    I had a query I was struggling with, maybe you could give some advice?
    Is there any way to give a NOT filter in this advanced filter?
    Like I want to filter out values that have "*Laptop*" and "*Desktop*".
    I ask this because I am trying to create a complex boolean string search.
    For eg, ("*Dell*" OR "*Asus* NOT ("*Laptop*" OR "*Desktop*")). How do I implement such complex searches in Excel? Would love to get some help.

      Once you have added the validation, you can protect the spreadsheet. Make sure the input cells are "unlocked" from format cells > protection option. This can prevent such unwanted copy paste. Another option is to train your users. Excel Data validation is not bullet proof.
