My code pastes a formula into a column of cells that also contains a data validation list. This formula returns information if it can find it. If it can't, then the user can select a value from the list in the cell.

As a result, I get a green triangle telling me there is a data validation error. I understand why it's doing this, but I don't care as this doesn't negatively impact the purpose of the cell. I just want the error to be ignored.

I've read about turning the error-checking feature off in the settings, but I prefer handling this using VBA, if possible.

How can I get rid of this triangle using VBA in all the cells affected?

That worked, JEC! Thanks!

What's odd is that ListDataValidation wasn't among the other choices for this issue on the Microsoft help site.

But the triangles on gone now. (y)

That is a much different list compared to what I was referencing. It had half those values. But good to know. Thanks again.
