Hi all,

I'm having a real issue in regards to being able to insert data into a cell which has data validation on it.

Basically I have have made a simple data validation rule. Only numbers between 0000000000-99999999999 can be written into the cell (or in column A). I have used Excel function – ‘data validation’. And it works fine until I insert a value from another source.
The datavalidation does not work, and I can easterly insert any letters or other sings... And this is wrong. I would like to keep the datavidation and would not allowed to insert anything except the numbers from 000000000 to 9999999999.
I know I can change it by VBA, but I am very new to VBA and I can not fugue it out ☹

Any help would be appreciated!

From the first blank cell below a filtered data set, press Alt+=. Instead of SUM, you will get SUBTOTAL(9,)
