When is data considered invalid?
Data is considered invalid when it is wrong or has changed. Data represents facts that are recorded, so any alterations made to it can make it invalid.

When you tap the ESC key while entering data into a cell, it cancels the current entry and returns the cell to its previous value. It is useful when you want to discard the changes you made without saving them.

Will pressing the ESC key cancel a cell entry before entering it into a cell in Excel?
Yes. If you press ESC before entering typed data into a cell (e.g. press ENTER), the cell will return to the same condition as before you started typing.

Does Access accept invalid data?
The term invalid data can have lots of meanings. Access won't accept things like trying to type text into a number field, as that is clearly invalid. However, unless you specify values that are invalid for a number field, like setting a maximum value that can go in, then it will accept it. So some invalid data is determined by Access, such as the wrong data type in a field, and some invalid data is determined by the user who wishes to only allow certain data in certain fields. Implementing that kind of validation is down to the person designing the database. There are many ways of doing that and that is part of the skill of the designer of the database and clearly specifying in the design what data is valid and what is invalid.

In spreadsheet what is a passive cell?
I have not heard that term in reference to Excel before, but since the cell you are working on is called the active cell, then I support a passive cell would be any cell where you are not entering data. Another meaning could be those cells that contain data, but do not interact with any other cells (are not included in a formula and do not hold a formula).
What is the name given for incorrect data?
Often it's simply referred to as invalid data or even garbage data. If it's data that was once valid but is now invalid or unrelated to other data, it might be referred to as orphaned data or an anomaly.
What is the proper method for entering data in a cell?
