Data validation does not have to stop data from being entered in a cell, it can also warn you with a user identified message. True False

True.

Data validation in spreadsheet applications, such as Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets, is a feature that helps control what data can be entered into a particular cell. While one of the primary functions of data validation is to restrict or limit the type of data that can be entered (like numbers, text length, or specific values), it also allows for the configuration of user-defined messages.

These messages can serve as warnings or prompts to inform users about the acceptable data formats or to alert them when they are about to enter invalid data. For example, when a user attempts to enter information that violates the validation rules, they can receive a pop-up message that explains the issue and suggests appropriate data instead. This functionality enhances user experience and data integrity by guiding users towards correct data entry without outright preventing them from entering data.
