Abstract
In various embodiments, methods and systems for dynamic validation of selectable data are provided. This may be accomplished by receiving a selection of an item such that preview interface elements associated with the validity of the selection are dynamically presented via an interface. The received preview-selected item is validated based on determining whether the preview-selected item and a set of one or more selected items are valid for a computation involving both the preview-selected item and the set of the one or more selected items. Upon determining that the preview-selected item is not combinable with at least one selected item in the set of one or more selected items, a preview interface element associated with the at least one selected item is provided for display such that an anticipated effect of executing a full selection of the preview-selected item is dynamically previewed.
