Validating PAN (Indian Format)

[Rick Rothstein]

There is always a VB solution, a UDF (user defined function) in this case...

Function IsPAN(S As String) As Boolean
  IsPAN = S Like "[A-Za-z][A-Za-z][A-Za-z][A-Za-z][A-Za-z]####[A-Za-z]"
End Function

For those reading this who are unfamiliar with UDFs, they are easy to install and use. To install it, simply press ALT+F11 to go into the VB editor and, once there, click Insert/Module on its menu bar, then copy/paste the above code into the code window that just opened up. That's it.... you are done. You can now use IsPAN just like it was a built-in Excel function. For example,

=IsPAN(A1)
