Use this function to approve non-relevant deviations of validations (e.g. in the area after the decimal point which is not displayed). Approved deviations are no longer listed as errors in the vali-dation sheet nor are they marked as errors in the Word tables.

Approve deviation

In order to approve deviations, please do the following:

  • Change to the validation sheet and highlight the validation with a deviation you wish to approve.
  • Select “Approve deviation” in the “Validation and consistency” group on the “*Validation” tab.


In the following dialogue, you can select the following two approval types:

Use this function if you would like to release a specific number range. The current deviation will then be directly recommended as delta. All values within this range automatically receive ap-proval.

Use this option to approve the current values as a deviation. The validation will be listed as a de-viation again, even if a value has only changed slightly. You can also add a comment and con-firm the dialogue with “OK”.

The deviation is approved and the respective information on the validation is shown as an Excel comment. This contains a date stamp, user information and the release value (Delta).
