Hi There,

I have a dropdown list that contains 250 names, I want a way to have a pop-up message when I select 3 specific names, but not to appear when I select any of the other names.

 

Any help greatfully appreciated

 

Regards

Paul

Hi Paul

I assume your list is selected via Data Validation.

I have 3 suggestions:

1) Just use an IF combine with a MATCH (or VLOOKUP) next to the selection to display a message in the cell.

2) Use Conditional Formatting to change the color of the cell (no message).

3) Use an Worksheet Event macro (pop-up message).

Whichever way you use, you will need a list of the 3 names for the checking.

Hope this helps.

Sunny

Can´t download or view the attached file to see your solution Sunny. Maybe a fault on the Forum, but can you try also and/or place it again?

Thanks!
