Hi and thank you all again in advance!

How would i restrict entry of any data into a cell in VBA based upon the contents of another cell?

For example, if cells A1:A10 contains "YES" or "NO" then how do i restrict a row of corresponding cells in cells B1:B10 from having any data entered?

Thank you again!

Best regards
Michael
 

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
You can do this with data validation.

You can use a rule similar to this:

Unless you absolutely have to use VBA...
