I am wondering if it is at all possible (and if so, how) to CREATE your own error message in Microsoft Excel. Basicaly, I am wanting to create an error message if two cells' figures do not match up. Any help would be greatly http://www.excelforum.com/showthread.php?t=642403 appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Let's say you wanted G1 and H18 to match. Go to G1, click Data -> Validation. On the 'Settings' tab, change 'Allow' to "Custom", and in the 'Formula' box below simply type in: =G1=H18 Click over to the Error Alert tab and set up your own custom error message and choose whether you want your message to "Stop" the user from entering that data or just warn/inform them. Do the same for cell H18. Select it, do those steps, but for the formula change it to: =H18=G1. Using VBA macros you could further enhance things, but might be more complicated than you need. Let us know if that's something you're interested in. Updated formulas, my bad.
