You can use Aspose.Cells API to get the validation applied to any cell. Aspose.Cells provides the Cell.getValidation method for this purpose. If there is no validation on the cell, it returns null. Similarly, you can use the Worksheet.getValidations().getValidationInCell(int row, int column) method to acquire the validation applied to a cell by providing its row and column indices.
The following snapshot shows the sample Microsoft Excel file used in the sample code below. Cell C1 has decimal validation applied and can only take values between 10 and 20.
