Locking Cell - with Conditions
Is there any way to lock/restrict a cell that asks users to choose a date? For example, I want users to be able to choose a date earlier than what is "listed" in the cell but be unable to choose a date after the date that is listed.
If the cell reads 9/1/2019, the user should be able to change the date to 8/30/19 but NOT to 9/2/19

Hi,
Unfortunately, it's not possible at the moment to restrict the dates, but it's a great idea!
Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment.
As a workaround, you could maybe have a cell show a message that they should select another date or something similar.
Would that work?
Hope that helps!
Have a fantastic weekend!

That may work - what formula could I use in the cell to achieve this?
-
=if(and(date@row > today - 2, date@row < Today + 2,"","Pick a date inside the range or I will find you")
This formula will check if the value in the "Date" column in the same row as the formula is greater than 2 days prior to the current date, and less than 2 days in the future. If the date selected is outside of the range, the cell will show "Pick a date inside the range or I will find you", otherwise the cell will be blank.
