Hi Sam, I think this part ISNUMBER(--MID(A3,6,4)) will allow entry with 3 spaces before the fourth digit :-) , like
ABCDE 1D
Hi Vijayendra,
This is my try. Firstly define 3 names to avoid INDIRECT function.
Name: *Alpha*
On refers to:
={"A";"B";"C";"D";"E";"F";"G";"H";"I";"J";"K";"L";"M";"N";"O";"P";"Q";"R";"S";"T";"U";"V";"W";"X";"Y";"Z"}
Name: *Row*
Refers to: ={1;2;3;4;5}
Name: *Col*
Refers to: ={6,7,8,9}
Then use this formula in Data Validation >> Custom. Make sure you have
unselect *Ignore blank*
=SUMPRODUCT(ISNUMBER(MATCH(MID(C2,Row,1),Alpha,0))*ISNUMBER(MID(C2,Col,1)+0)*ISNUMBER(MATCH(MID(C2,10,250),Alpha,0)))=20
