Working with Data


1. Data Validation
• Data Validation in Excel is a feature that allows you to control and restrict the type of data
that can be entered into a cell. This ensures data accuracy, consistency, and reliability,
which is crucial in data analytics.
• Data Validation allows you to define rules or conditions for the data that can be entered in a
cell. These rules can include specifying acceptable values, number formats, text lengths,
dates, or custom formulas. Data Validation helps prevent errors and inconsistencies in your
dataset.
Create a table with employee information it should contains the following fields, Employee
Name, Department, Salary, Hire Date and you want to ensure that the "Hire Date" column
only accepts dates within a specified range. Here's how we can use Data Validation in
Excel

Let's apply Data Validation to the "Hire Date" column to ensure that only dates between
January1, 2018, and December 31, 2022, are accepted.
1. Select the cells in the "Hire Date" column where you want to apply Data Validation.
This is typically done by clicking on the column header (e.g., "Hire Date") or
dragging the mouse to select the specific range of cells.
2. Go to the "Data" tab on the Excel ribbon.
3. Click on "Data Validation" in the "Data Tools" group.
4. In the "Data Validation" dialog box(under the "Settings" tab):
 In the "Allow" drop-down menu, select "Date."
 In the "Data" section, choose "between."
 Enter "01/01/2018" as the start date and "12/31/2022" as the end date.
5. This configuration ensures that only dates betweenJanuary1, 2018, and December
31, 2022, are accepted in the "Hire Date" column
6. Click "OK" to apply the Data Validation to the selected cells.
 Now, if someone tries to enter a date outside the specified range, they will
receive an error message, and the cell will not accept the entry until it meets
the defined criteria.

2. Pivot Table:
Pivot Table is functionality in Excel which helps you organize and analyze data.
Pivot Table helps you structure and organize data to understand large data sets. The data
that you use needs to be in tabular format.
