Data validation is a function or feature in Microsoft Excel to make your report effective and easy to use. Data Validation  provides a restriction to use the data or in the other words we can say it provides a limit or control of values that you have to select. Let suppose we have a report and we want to enter blood group of all staffs. In order to make report easy we can can set a limit of data to allow only blood groups like "A", "A+", "B", "B+", "O", "O+", "AB" ...... etc.
In example 1 we can see how set data validation limit. After select the data we don't need to write any thing, one drop down button will reflect with all blood groups.

Example 1 - How to work Data Validation



Points To Be Remember:
We have to prepare a separate data to use in source column range to set a limit of data, For example as per current requirement we want only different blood group in column. You can see in example 1. we have prepared a separate data, the same data will reflect in blood group column as reflecting in below image. In the other words we can say that we have restricted the data, only blood groups are reflecting and we can select by drop down button.



We can not enter anything apart from defined blood groups. It is an easy way to make your reporting effective.
