I am trying to add data validation for ip address in my cell. The Ip address should be from 0.0.0.0 to 256.256.256.256. To check valid Ip address i am trying to check following conditions:
1.there should be only three dots
2.length of digits should be from 4 to 12.
3.not any digit should be more than 256 or less than 0.
4.it should not take any blanks in between
I am trying through data>data validation>custom>formula>
1.=AND((LEN(C8)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(C8,".","")))=3,ISNUMBER(SUBSTITUTE(C8,".","")+0))
2.=AND(LEN(C8)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(C8,".",""))=3,--LEFT(C8,FIND(".",C8)-1)<224,--LEFT(C8,FIND(".",C8)-1)>0,--MID(SUBSTITUTE(C8,"."," "),6,5)<256,--MID(SUBSTITUTE(C8,"."," "),15,7)<256,--MID(SUBSTITUTE(C8,"."," "),22,10)<256)
But my all conditions are not getting satisfied from it.
Please let me know how to add data validation for IP through data validation or conditional formatting.
As a custom validation rule, try:
=AND(COUNT(FILTERXML("<t><s>"&SUBSTITUTE(A1,".","</s><s>")&"</s></t>","//s[.*1>-1][.*1<256]"))=4,LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1,".",""))=3)
Where we use FILTERXML to split the string on dots and through XPATH we return those numeric elements ranging from 0-255. Then COUNT will check if there are just 4 elements returned.
The AND is there because we also need to ensure that there are only three dots.
Please do note that using FILTERXML requires Excel 2013 or higher (Excluding Excel Online or Mac).

I have 3 columns in Excel that I'm trying to compare against.
E.g.
I want to make sure that the email address should be more similar to Enquirer Name than it is to Client Name.
My current formula looks at if Enquirer Name differs to Client Name, then show me email addresses that match more than 5 characters with Client Name, which doesn't quite eliminate enquirers related to clients where their email address satisfies the equation.
Is Excel capable of returning something like Enquirer-Email match 9 characters, Client-Email match 5 characters, therefore no need to alert. Whereas if it's the other way around, conditional formatting to highlight the line?
Many thanks in advance!
is it possible to custom filter in Excel so that I get the data that contain INC followed by a series of number? (numbers vary)
I would like to get data like:
Request raised (INC12460031)
email sent in order to set up SNOW ticket INC12168408
Excluding the following examples: INCorrect, INConvenience etc.
(...)37 hours are mentioned which seems to be incorrect.
Please accept our apologies for all the inconvenience caused.
You can achieve that with an Advanced Filter.
The formula in E2 excludes items where the character following "INC" isn't a number greater than 0. Observe that the created MidString has a length of only one character. You could increase that number even to the point of including the entire word. Such an increase would ensure that numbers starting with zero aren't excluded.
I am relatively new to excel so apologies for the simple question.
I would like to add data validation to a range of cells in Excel, the cells will be used to collect "Full Names". I would like the cells to only allow: Text Input (All letters in alphabet both lower and upper case) and have a character length of 1-70.
Im aware of the custom forumla in the Data Validation window however im unsure of the correct command. I have also tried using "Text Length" however this still allows the input of numbers and symbols.
Thanks!
Same
=AND(LEN(A1)<=70,ISNUMBER(SUMPRODUCT(SEARCH(MID(A1,ROW(1:999),1),"abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ&<>"))))
Try this in the Custom section:
=AND(SUMPRODUCT((MID(UPPER(A1),ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(A1))),1) >="A")*(MID(UPPER(A1),ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(A1))),1) <="Z"))=LEN(A1),LEN(A1)<=70)
It checks, case insensitive, that all of the entries are in the range [A-Za-z] and that the length is not longer than 70.
If you want to allow spaces in the entry, then you can add that test as shown below:
=AND(SUMPRODUCT((MID(UPPER(A1),ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(A1))),1) >="A")*(MID(UPPER(A1),ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(A1))),1) <="Z") + (MID(UPPER(A1),ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(A1))),1) =" "))=LEN(A1),LEN(A1)<=70)
I want to validate that a user has correctly entered a CIDR formatted subnet, such as 192.0.2.0/24. The following formula correct validates this data:
=AND(--LEFT(F6,FIND(".",F6)-1)<256,
--TRIM(MID(SUBSTITUTE(F6,".",REPT(" ",99)),99,99))<256,
--TRIM(MID(SUBSTITUTE(F6,".",REPT(" ",99)),198,99))<256,
--MID(TRIM(MID(SUBSTITUTE(F6,".",REPT(" ",99)),297,99)),1,FIND("/",TRIM(MID(SUBSTITUTE(F6,".",REPT(" ",99)),297,99)))-1)<256,
--MID(F6,FIND("/",F6)+1,2)<33)
However it is well over the 256 character limit. Is there a more efficient way to validate this in Excel?
FYI, a CIDR subnet is 4 numbers below 256, separated by periods, followed by a slash and then one or two numbers (although followed by two numbers is true in all my use cases)
AND by itself will return the needed TRUE or FALSE and the IF( is not needed.
Also TRIM when using the -- to convert to numbers is also not needed as excel will ignore the extra spaces on its own.
I refactored the forth to be a little more concise.
This is only 243 characters:
=AND(--LEFT(F6,FIND(".",F6)-1)<256,--MID(SUBSTITUTE(F6,".",REPT(" ",99)),99,99)<256,--MID(SUBSTITUTE(F6,".",REPT(" ",99)),198,99)<256,--MID(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(F6,".",REPT(" ",99)),"/",REPT(" ",99)),297,99)<256,--MID(F6,FIND("/",F6)+1,2)<33)
I have set up an advanced filter in Excel. I can not get the advanced filter to produce any output when using wildcard asterisks (*), using a source list that contains numbers and hyphenated numbers, OR alternatively when using a separate list which is producing a number from a formula. All adv.filter headers are properly placed and named; the filter works fine not using wildcards.
Original List:
10
10-1
11
11-1
100
I am using a formula to convert these hyphenated numbers to ignore the dashes so they will sort properly (smallest to largest) in my list:
=IF(A1="","",IFERROR(VALUE(LEFT(A1,FIND("-",A1)-1)),VALUE(A1)))
This results in a secondary column (which is the advanced filter source data):
10
10
11
11
100
My advanced filter criteria then becomes *10* with wildcards, with the output header being the original list with dashes included. I am expecting the wildcard to show both 10 and 100 in the output when user types in 10. There is no output data, however, when using the wildcard. There is exact match output data when I just type in 10 with no asterisks.
Any ideas for why wildcards aren't working? I tried formatting the source data and criteria data as both text, number, and general; none made any difference with wildcards. Thanks for the help!!!!
You had the right idea when you tried formatting as text: wildcards don't work on numeric values.
Where you're running into trouble is that formatting as text doesn't change numbers to text retroactively; only numbers entered after the format change get converted. Instead convert your data to strings first using the TEXT function in another location, and then filter that result.
Depending on exactly what you're doing with the VALUE function in your formula, you might even be able to use TEXT in there.
