Abstract
Fields contained in data expressed as tabular data having columns and rows can initially be marked as exceptions, wherein a column within a row can be the potential cause of the exception. A user configurable parameter can be utilized to change the sensitivity or allowable exceptions for each row and/or column, to increase or decrease the number of exceptions detected. As data within each field are modified, added or deleted, or when the configurable parameter is changed, the exceptions marked can be automatically updated. Such updated exceptions can be the same or different from the initially marked exceptions. As such, a user can evaluate data and determine whether various changes within the data will change various outcomes.
