We need to create a form asking the clients for their age. Is there any way to create a field where you can only fill in numbers – maybe only 4 numbers like 1976 or 2011?
Another field input would be date. It would be perfect if I could limit the number – something like "not lower than 1800 and not higher than 2012" to prevent invalid numbers.
I can create a question with drop down list, but creating a list of all possible years would be stupid and uncomfortable to choose from.

Google Spreadsheet now takes into account Data Validation when submitting forms. So you can set a rule on your
Age
column to onlyallow
numbers
greater than
0
.When submitting a response which doesnt fit this rule the user is given this message:![Oops...](https://i.stack.imgur.com/wdfcS.png)
I found out about it after reading this post.
