    How do i mask a data validation for example,

    Out of 5 characters, I need only 1st charactor to be Alphabet between A & D only , and the remaining numeric limited to (0-9)

    Example the masking formula should be similar to this regular expression ^([A-D a-d])(?:[1-9]|10|11)(0)([1-4])$

    Hi @pyli!

    If you are trying to restrict the user to only input a certain symbol, this can be done via the method of using input masks:

    This allows the user to only input a letter in the first field and the remaining four are digits. You can learn more about these features here: Getting-Started-with-the-Basics-of-Input-Masking
