About This Event

This Excel 2013 training program will discuss the scope and limitations of Data Validation rules. It will also offer guidance on how to use Data Validation to control simple numerical value limits, to control text length limits, and more.

Why Should You Attend:

With Excel's data validation tools, you can control how users input data into workbooks and ensure data is entered consistently and accurately. You can control dates, times, and the length of the data they enter, or simply provide a list of acceptable choices to eliminate any possible mistakes.
This webinar will enumerate how you can control data entry by formulas, provide dropdown lists that eliminate time-consuming and error-prone typing mistakes, control numeric data based on date and time constraints, and identify unwanted data by applying data validation rules on existing data by using Excel’s Data Validation tools.
