Data validation restricts a user to enter values in a cell based on the rule applied by the owner of the sheet. This is used only for specific purposes for example, in Forms, in certain types of reports where you want standardised values to be entered in a range or a column to restrict user to enter specific range of date, values, text and so on. Due to above reasonsthe data validation function can not be enabled on the entire worksheet by default. It needs to be used for specific cells or range andeach cell or range may have different rule of data validation. hope this helps. hemant parmar read less
