Batch clear all data validation restrictions from selection in Excel
Kutools for Excel
Boosts Excel With 300+
Powerful Features
In Excel, you can set data validations to restrict the type of data that users can enter a cell or a range of cells. However, how could you clear these data validation restrictions if you want to get rid of them? Here, I recommend the Clear Data Validation Restrictions feature of Kutools for Excel to delete all data validation restrictions in bulk with only one click.
Batch clear all data validation restrictions from a selection
Click Kutools > Prevent Typing > Clear Data Validation Restrictions. See screenshot:
