How To Remove Data Validation In Excel

When you don’t need to use data validation, you can remove it while not affecting the cells.

Step 1 – Highlight the cells and click on Data and Validation under the Data tab.

As an example, data validation has been applied on column B, where a drop down list is sticking out on Cell B2.

Step 2 – Click Clear All

Clear All means that the drop down list will be removed on all the selected cells.

Step 3 – Click OK

Clicking OK will apply the action.
