This feature allows you to apply validation to a cell or range of cells based on the conditions required. You can enable or disable data validation by using the
allowDataValidation
property. -
In this sample, we have applied data validation for List, String, Number, Date and Time by using the
addDataValidation
method withValidationModel
as argument. -
In the Employee Name column, we have used
TextLength
validation to provide proper name with more than 3 text length. In time in and time out column, we have providedTime
validation for working hours between 8.00 AM to 6.00 PM. In the weekdays column, we have usedList
validation for weekdays (Monday to Friday). -
In the hours worked column, we have used
WholeNumber
validation to find out overtime calculation(i.e more than 8 hours). And also, we used theaddInvalidHighlight
to highlight the overtime hours of the employee. -
In the gross pay with overtime column, we have used
WholeNumber
validation. In this validation, we have used the input value as the cell reference. It helps in changing the criteria dynamically.
