    Data validation - Whole Numbers

    how can I set a cell so that you can only type in 1 , 2 , 3, 4, 5

    I know I can use the validation but people can just copy a cell and paste it over.

    Either you can set up a validation (as you mentioned) AND protect your worksheet to prevent people from copying/pasting over the validation, or you can use VBA (if you don't mind that) to prevent people from entering an incorrect value.

    This is just a minor change to VBA Noob's code to disallow decimal numbers from being used in place of whole numbers:
