What is Data Validation?
Data validation is a feature available in Microsoft Excel. It allows you to
do the following:
• create a drop down list of items in a cell
• restrict entries, such as a date range or whole numbers only
• create custom rules for what can be entered
• Create a prompt message explaining the kind of data allowed in a
cell.
• Create messages that appear when incorrect data has been
entered.
• Set a range of numeric values that can be entered in a cell.
• Determine if an entry is valid based on calculation in another cell
When Data Validation is used
When Data Validation is applied
to a cell
From the above screens shot we
see that we can used the only 4
options which are given in the
drop down list. For a general
question like your role in the
organisation, we have multiple
choices. But here in this cell after
applying data validation we have
restricted the options to 4 by
adding a dropdown list.
This helps the users to use only the dropdown list and not to get
confused about the answer or use some invalid options.
How to apply Data Validation on a cell:
• Open an Excel worksheet where you want to apply data
validation. Select a Table similar to the example in the
next slide and list the options in the area of excel which is
outside the table that you are using and list the options
that you want to restrict the users.
• select a cell where you want to set validation.
• In the "Data Tools" tab click on "Data validation".
• The Data Validation window will be shown.
• From the Data Validation window you can choose list.
• Select the options that you have already listed outside the
table and click on ok button
