Does it matter if there is Data Validation Lists in Data table for Pivot Table?

I have created a table which has drop down lists for people to select from to ensure consistency of terminology, does this matter if it is still in place when converting into a pivot table?  Or should the raw data be completely clean and free from any drop downs?

 

Thanks

Data validation in source data for PivotTables is fine. Of course if anyone makes a change to the selection in the data validation list you'll want to refresh the PivotTable.
