I am trying to set a spreadsheet that users need to enter information into. What I want to happen is to have the users enter a required value before moving to the next cell to enter into. I do not want the user to have a blank value and force them to enter the information before being allowed to leave the cell. I am trying to use data validation but it will still allow the user to enter no information and move on. Is there a way to do this.
 
This will need VBA utilising the selection change event and a lookup of ranges that cannot be blank

Please post in the VBA forum: Forum707 if you are interested in persuing this

We could learn a lot from crayons. Some are sharp, some are pretty and some are dull. Some have weird names and all are different colours but they all live in the same box.
