Transcript of the video:
How to circle invalid data in Excel. There's two ways to do this, the nerdy way.
Let's say that the rule is everything should be between 60 and 100. Come out here to data validation, and we're going to allow a whole number between 60 and 100, click okay.
Now that we have that rule set up, come back to data validation and say circle invalid data, and it'll circle the ones that don't match.
But sometimes you just need to draw a circle around someone.
Insert, shapes, choose the oval, draw the circle so it completely covers the person, and then here, shape fill, no fill. Change the color if you want.
Once you have that first circle drawn, I hold down the control key and just drag it around anyone else that I need to circle. Quick and easy.
