How to Use Excel Data Validation for Entering Dates
Step 1: Open Google Sheets
Go to Data > Data validation in the Google Sheets menu.
Step 2: Set Data validation rules
For dates, just set them as criteria on the range of cells and choose the option that suits you best.
- For time units, since they are absent from these settings by default, you will need to either create an additional column with time units and refer to this column with your Data validation criteria (List from a range) or enter time units directly to the criteria field (List of items) separating them by a comma.
