In the Decimal Number Validation, we can put a validation in the Excel cells for Decimal Number in the same way we did it for Whole Number.
Below are the steps to apply Decimal Number Validation:

- Go to Data tab>>Data Validation>>Click on Data Validation.
- Below given window will be opened.
- Select Decimal in Allow drop down.
- Select between in Data drop down and put Minimum and Maximum value.
- Click on OK button.
As we have given the minimum 3.00 and maximum 3.99 in the criteria. So decimal numbers between 3.00 to 3.99 will be allowed to enter. if any other value will be entered it will show “The value you entered is not valid”
