Microsoft Excel 2007: How to take limit value to the cell

Microsoft Excel 97

Do you want to input data in Microsoft excel but give a limit value to the cell? Can we do that in Excel? Yup..please find the tips below:

For example we want to give limit data between 10 to 100
1. Select the cell that we want to give the data ex : D2:D5
2. Select data validation (in tab Data -> Data Validation)
3. Input data in Tab setting after select Data Validation :
-Allow : Decimal
-Data : Beetwen
-Minimum : 10
-Maximum : 100
4. press ok

Test input data outside the range Ex : 101 then you will have an Error Message.

You can modify the Error Message by setting the error Message in Tab Error Alert.

  1. how can I set limits from 1 to 100 in "B1",If "B1" is a subproduct of "A1" ?

    "A1" has a slider from 0 to 100 ... works ok but, when I try to set limits in "B1"...doesnt work and "B1" goes beyond max limit (100)
    Ex: (B1 = A1+2)... i want B1 to be stopped when reachs 100 not wanting "102"
