I have an excel sheet that I am attempting to apply restrictions to and also requires a drop down list.
End Goal: I want to make it to where a user has to select a cell in COLUMN A, choose a value from a drop down list (drawn from COLUMN D), before inputting any data in the corresponding cell in COLUMN B.
So far, I have set a data validation that restricts data being entered into COLUMN B if the corresponding cell in COLUMN A is blank. I have set it to where a warning pops up and tells the user what they need to do before inputting that data.
Where I am stuck is if the user inputs data in COLUMN A and then COLUMN B like I want, if the data in COLUMN A is deleted for whatever reason, there is nothing stopping the value in COLUMN B from remaining.
I'm looking for a way to restrict it both ways (avoiding using macros), but still keep the drop down menu.
