  • For a range of cells without empty cells (i.e: 1 to 7)

  • For any cell such as A1, with the following settings about Data Validation


enter image description here



Note observe the ignore blank checkbox, it is unmarked



And



enter image description here



I am able to create the Drop List and select any value from it. Until here all is ok.




  • If in that cell I press the backspace key (deleting all the data) and then enter key is pressed I receive the expected error message


enter image description here



Until here all works how is expected



Problem




  • I can select other value from the list, but if later the delete or supr key is used, deleting all the data, and enter key is pressed the cell pass to be empty, thus the validation has failed. No error message arises. I can confirm through other cell and using the len function it shows 0, and in other cell using the countblank shows 1 thus is empty.
    Why the validation works how is expected with the cell without data through backspace and not through delete/supr?


How can I fix this situation?



Note: just in case, this situation exists even if in-cell dropdown is unmarked
