You can use Data Validation in Microsoft Excel as a way of controlling/restricting what types of data users may enter into a cell. Through this function, Data Validation allows you to define multiple rules, for example, allowing only whole numbers in a certain range; allowing only specific date(s); or allowing only selection(s) from a list of items defined by you on a drop down list. If a user attempts to enter a datum that does not fit into the criteria you have predefined, then you can have Excel prohibit that entry completely or give the user a warning message.
