Data Validation in Microsoft Excel

Aspose.Cells Cloud is an easy to use REST API for spreadsheet creation, manipulation and conversion that provides all the features that Microsoft Excel provides without depending on Microsoft Excel. When setting up a workbook for your users, cell validation is one of the features that you can use data validation to restrict the type of data or the values that users enter into a cell, to make sure all data entries are accurate and consistent.

Here, I will explain how to do Data Validations in Excel using Aspose.Cells Cloud: add data validation, update data validation rule and remove all data validations from a worksheet. I am using cURL in the sample code, but you can use the SDK of your favorite programming language in your specific project. Currently, it supports SDKs for .NET, Java, PHP, Python, Ruby, Node.js, Android, Swift and Perl.
