Problem with data validation formula *** structured reference *** XL2007

V

vsoler

Hello,

I posted this on another group, but I don't seem to get a satisfactory
answer.

In an excel 2007 table (yes, a table), I want that one column has
unique values. I
want to check this at input time, with a data validation function.

Say that I have Table1

a b
qw 1
as 2
zx 3
fg 4

where a and b are column names (headers). I don't want another "qw" or
"zx"
value in column a.

I have tried with Data/Data Validation, with a formula like

=(countif([a];[a])=1)

but the countif function does not seem to recognaize structured
references in data validation formulas.

How could I get around this problem?

Thank you
