Validation rule for decimals

76
Hello,

I'm trying to set a validation rule for a field in a table that will only allow the user to enter whole hours or quarter hour increments, like 1 or 2.25. I'm using the following statement in the validation rule field:

Like "*.0" Or Like "*.25" Or Like "*.5" Or Like "*.75"

but it isn't working. When I enter 1.0, I would think that it should work, but it denies it. Why is it denying it and what can I put in instead?

Thanks,

Charlie

Hi, Charlie.

Try the following validation rule
[Your Field Name]/0.25=Int([Your Field Name]/0.25)
