Hi, I am using Excel 2003 and have drop down cells with validations. I want to restrict the copy-paste functionality for these drop-down cells. i have written a macro for that purpose but it disables the copy-paste for entire worksheet.
Appreciate if you could help me with a macro that checks for the values in the drop-down list and if the value matches with that the user is going to paste then it allows to paste else it gives an error message " Not a valid entry " For example in the attachment(See attached file) there are 4 entries in the drop-down list. If the user tries to paste any random value say "abcd" or "1234" then an error message should be shown and the user must not be able to paste BUT if user pastes a value(Unclassified or any of the 4 items) that matches the drop-down list values the paste should be allowed. Can you please help me with this, I have written a macro but its not working can you please check or advice what am i missing or doing wrong. I am attaching the macro enable Excel sheet for your reference so that you can have look at the macro that i have written.
