Is there any way with data validation to restrict entry or leave the cell empty or with a sign if another cell has value.
For example if cell p3 has any value Q3 is blank or has a minus sign
Thanks in advance.
 

Excel Facts

Square and cube roots
The =SQRT(25) is a square root. For a cube root, use =125^(1/3). For a fourth root, use =625^(1/4).
Try this

Data Validation
In Settings change Allow to Custom
and enter this as a formula

=(AND(P3<>"",OR(Q3="",Q3="-",Q3="+")))

Q3 will only accept blank, plus or minus if P3 has a value
otherwise it will accept anything.
(You didn't say what Q3 should accept if P3 DOESN'T have a value)
