I made a spreadsheet to compile data for 2 different types of scenarios. The first is the Task, these are customers sent from CS Reps (Customer Service Reps) to my team (Sales Reps). You can see what I am looking to track. The second group of data are the HOUSE ACCT phone in orders transferred to Inside Sales. You also see what I am looking to track from this. I put together grids with data validation to more easily choose reps and outcomes but i know that you guys can do something much nicer and more efficient. On the side you will see October totals. These are the totals that to have incorporated for each month as they accumulate.

n the worksheet “4000 dates,” in cells A2:A4000, apply data validation so that if and only if the date in that cell is earlier than (i.e., less than) the date in the one cell immediately above it, the command “Circle Invalid Data” will encircle such values.

How do I apply data validation to include only 0,1, and 999 in a column?
Solved by K. U. in 23 mins
I have a spreadsheet that was given to me. Several cells have down lists (list contains 1,0,-1 as options). If you select 1, a green circle appears in the cell with a checkmark. If you select 0, just the empty circle appears. If you select -1, an orange circle appears with an exclamation point. I'm a little familiar with data validation but can't figure out how this is done.

Not sure what method is best to use. I am trying to connect data across tabs. Could be data validation or some other means of a lookup.

Hello I'm trying to create a data validation for a particular column and i'm a bit stuck at a certain point. I have been reading your help section and it says to choose what we want allowed. I selected the option of date. but unfortunately the help section does not really describe what all the different data settings mean. I would just like for the person working on the document to be able to add any date they would like but i'm not sure what i'm supposed to select for data
