<h2>Settings</h2>

<p class="note"><b>Note</b>: Check the <b>Apply these changes to all other cells with the same settings</b> box to use the same settings to the selected range of cells or a whole worksheet.</p>
<p><img alt="Data validation - settings window" src="../images/dataval_settings.png" /></p>

<ul>
<li><b>Any value</b>: no limitations on information type.</li>
<li><b>Whole number</b>: only whole numbers are allowed.</li>
<li><b>Decimal</b>: only numbers with a decimal point are allowed.</li>
<li>
<b>List</b>: only options from the drop-down list you created are allowed. Uncheck the <b>Show drop-down list in cell</b> box to hide the drop-down arrow.
