- Return Type Description:

- address
- Type:string
- The address of the cell or region that serves as the basis for relative references, or null to use the top-left cell of the worksheet.
Exceptions
Exception Description ig.ArgumentException Occurs when address is not a valid cell or regions address. Remarks
The way in which the cell value is compared to the lower constraint formula's value is determined by the TwoConstraintDataValidationRule.validationOperator as well as the ValueConstraintDataValidationRule.validationCriteria.
Depending on the ValidationCriteria of the rule, either the cell value itself or the length of the cell value's text equivalent is compared to the lower constraint formula's value.
When the TwoConstraintDataValidationRule.validationOperator is Between, the value must be greater than or equal to the lower constraint and less than or equal to the upper constraint. When the ValidationOperator is NotBetween, the value must be less than the lower constraint or greater than the upper constraint.
The address passed in is only needed if relative addresses are used in the the formula. For example, consider the formula applied is =B1, and the data validation rule is applied to the region A1:A5. If you get the formula for A1, the formula =B1 will be returned. If you get the formula for A2, =B2 will be returned. Similarly, for cell A5, =B5 will be returned. However, if the formula contains no references or all absolute references, the address is ignored. So in the previous example, if the original formula was =$B$1, the same formula will be returned regardless of the specified address.
address can be any valid cell or region reference on a worksheet. If a region address is specified, the top-left cell or the region is used. The cell or region specified does not need to have the data validation rule applied to it. Any reference is allowed.
The cell reference mode with which to parse address will be assumed to be A1, unless the data validation rule is applied to a worksheet which is in a workbook, in which case the Workbook.cellReferenceMode will be used.

- The address of the cell or region that serves as the basis for relative references, or null to use the top-left cell of the worksheet.
Exceptions
Exception Description ig.ArgumentNullException Occurs when upperConstraintFormula is null and the rule is currently applied to a Worksheet. ig.ArgumentNullException Occurs when the specified value is null and the rule is currently applied to a Worksheet. ig.ArgumentException Occurs when upperConstraintFormula is an ArrayFormula. ig.ArgumentException Occurs when address is not a valid cell or regions address. ig.ArgumentException Occurs when the specified value equals a constant, such as =5, and the constant value is greater than the upper constraint value. If the upper constraint formula does not equal a constant, this verification is not performed. ig.excel.FormulaParseException Occurs when upperConstraintFormula is not a valid formula. Remarks
The way in which the cell value is compared to the upper constraint formula's value is determined by the TwoConstraintDataValidationRule.validationOperator as well as the ValueConstraintDataValidationRule.validationCriteria.
Depending on the ValidationCriteria of the rule, either the cell value itself or the length of the cell value's text equivalent is compared to the upper constraint formula's value.
When the TwoConstraintDataValidationRule.validationOperator is Between, the value must be greater than or equal to the lower constraint and less than or equal to the upper constraint. When the ValidationOperator is NotBetween, the value must be less than the lower constraint or greater than the upper constraint.
The address passed in is only needed if relative addresses are used in the the formula. When the data validation rule is applied to cells or regions, the references in the formula used by each individual cell will be shifted by the offset of the cell to the passed in address. For example, consider the formula specified is =B1 and the specified address is A1. If the data validation rule is then applied to the A5 cell, the formula is will use is =B5. However, if the references in the formula are absolute, such as =$B$1, the same formula will be applied regardless of the specified address.
address can be any valid cell or region reference on a worksheet. If a region address is specified, the top-left cell or the region is used. The cell or region specified does not need to have the data validation rule applied to it. Any reference is allowed.
The cell reference mode with which to parse address will be assumed to be A1, unless the data validation rule is applied to a worksheet which is in a workbook, in which case the Workbook.cellReferenceMode will be used.

showErrorMessageForInvalidValue
Inherited- .showErrorMessageForInvalidValue( );
- Return Type:
- boolean
- Return Type Description:
- True to show the error dialog for invalid cell data; False otherwise.
Gets the value which indicates whether the error dialog should appear in Microsoft Excel when invalid data is entered in the cell.
Remarks
When the value is False, invalid data can be entered into cells, but when the user chooses to subsequently circle invalid values in Microsoft Excel, the cell will be circled.

Depending on the value specified, either then cell value or the length of its text equivalent will be compared against the constraint(s). In addition, certain ValidationCriteria values may disallow a cell value even if it is valid when compared to the constraint. For example, the ValidationCriteria.WholeNumber value will not allow any number with a fractional portion.
