Select cell(s). From the menu, choose Data--Validation, choose List, type
in the box: yes,no
That's it!

You can use data validation to limit what a user can type in a cell. The
data validation can refer to a list on a worksheet, or to a list that
you type in the data validation dialog box. There are instructions here
for using a list on the worksheet:

Note: if you type the list in the data validation dialog box, it is case
sensitive. For example, if your list is "y,n", users will be able to
enter lower case y or n, but not upper case Y or N.
