• Key Concepts: 
  A validation rule is a feature in SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) that allows users to define conditions that must be met for data to be accepted. Validation rules are used to ensure data accuracy and consistency, and can be applied to individual cells or entire columns.
  
  How to use it: 
  Validation rules can be created in SAC by selecting the “Validation Rules” option from the Data tab. From there, users can define the conditions that must be met for data to be accepted. For example, a user may create a rule that requires all values in a column to be greater than 0. Once the rule is created, it will be applied to all new data entered into the column.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating validation rules, it is important to consider the type of data being entered into the column. For example, if the column contains numerical values, then a numerical validation rule should be used. If the column contains text values, then a text validation rule should be used.
