Adding Data in a Spreadsheet
This time
sheet is a fast and effective way to record your hours. Suppose you work
for the same Accounts every week. What if you could just choose the
Account from a list? Choosing the answer from a list has two benefits:
the data entry is faster, and it is spelled correctly.
Data Validation restricts what goes into a cell. For example,
suppose a spreadsheet had a column for the Date.
If you use Data Validation, Excel would compare what the user types
and alert the user if they typed in something wrong, like a price
instead of a date.
Data Validation can also create a simple drop down List.
