Description
This video demonstration will take you through a sample run of Incisive Validate 3.0 while highlighting its main features.

Overview of Validate

  1. Open Microsoft Excel and Click on the Incisive tab at the top..
  2. Click ‘Start Validate’ to start a Validate session on the current spreadsheet.
  3. A couple things will happen:
    • The Validate Task Panel will appear on the right
    • Regions (purple boxes around like formula cells) appear
  4. On the right, the Task Pane has four sections:
    • Validate Progress
    • Selected Region
    • Regions
    • Fault Investigator
  5. On the screen we see:
    • Boxes that are called regions. A selected region can be approved - when approved it will be colored green.
    • Cell values can be approved or disapproved using the mini menu.
    • Approved values will color the cells that a formula references blue. Disapproved or suspect cells are colored from yellow to red. The more red the coloring, the more likely it is to be an error.
  6. You can save your work by clicking "Save Validate"
  7. You can load the saved Validate file by clicking "Open Validate"
  8. You can view a log/report that shows the current state of the Validate session.
