Adding a Note in Data Validation in Excel

To add a note in Excel's data validation feature, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the tab on the Excel ribbon that contains the data validation feature, which is typically the Data tab.
2. Within the Data Tools group on the ribbon, click Data Validation, and the Data Validation dialog box will open.
3. In the Data Validation dialog box, click on the Input Message tab.
4. Type your note in the box provided under Title (for the message title) and Input Message (for the actual note you want the user to see when they select the cell).
5. Complete and review the information you entered, and click OK to save the note.

Note: The message you type will appear when a user selects the cell in the worksheet, effectively providing guidance or commentary on the data entry expected in that cell. If you wish to edit or delete an existing note, you can follow a similar process to access the input message and make the necessary changes.
