Is it for data validation ? By this I mean do you want prevent user to type in any thing that is less than 10 or have any thing greater than 50 which is not a multiple of 5

Hi Rizvisa,

I was just checking the forum and came to this post. I'm curious how you would apply data validation with two statements: only allow a number between 10 and 50 which isn't divisible by 5.

Best regards,
Trowa

Hey Trowa. how that graph thing is coming up.

This work for me for the original question, in the validation I have this formula

=IF(A1="",TRUE,IF(OR(A1<10,AND(A1>50,MOD(A1,5)<>0)),FALSE,TRUE))

it allows if data is either "", or is >10 and <50 or is >50 but is a multiple of 5


For your question to only allow a value between 10 and 50 when it is not divisible by 5
=IF(A1="",TRUE,IF(OR(A1<10, A1>50, MOD(A1,5)=0),FALSE,TRUE))

or this
=NOT(AND(A1<>"",OR(A1<10,A1>50,MOD(A1,5)=0)))

Thanks Rizvisa for your answer. Some knowledge just fades away after not using it for a while. That's why I use this forum to keep my Excel muscles in shape. Thanks for helping me with my exercise :).

My graph is working very smoothly, thanks for asking!

Kind regards,
Trowa
