Excel image: Data Validation options

Data -> Data Tools -> Data Validation

Validation Settings

The default value for a cell is Any Value. Validation criteria can restrict data entry to Whole numbers, decimals, Dates or Time.

 

For our example, select List from the options.

 

After you Allow the List, you need to identify the data Source. Our list is on the Accounts spreadsheet. We named that range: clients.

 

Click in the Source box and type: =clients
