Mixing
Custom Data Validation with possible Number or Word
Ok so here is what I have so far. The following works properly preventing non numbers and more than 2 occurrences of each number.
=AND(ISNUMBER(K2),COUNTIF(K$2:K$20,K2)<3)
Next I need to add in the option for the field to be 'BYE'.
So each of the cells can contain a number that cannot occur more than twice or it can contain 'BYE'
Anyone have any advice on how to achieve this? Is there a way to say it can be like this or like that?

I'm an iOS Developer so not familiar with using sheets. Feel free to submit it as an answer and I will mark it as best.
