Can MTEI sanity checking be added?

Can FlexSim add optional sanity checking when importing MTEI tables? For example, if the referenced Excel sheet has blank or questionable data (such as type mismatches, negative values found where positive values are expected, etc.), can it present this as an warning prompt to the user before proceeding with the import? This would be a big help for models with lots of MTEI entries.

You may want to flesh out your thoughts and post your suggestion as a new idea where other users could comment on it and upvote it, rather than posing this as a question. Some thoughts to consider: What sort of interface are you imagining? How would it be powerful, yet keep the interface from being too complex to easily figure out for a first-timer?

Each user's data requirements are unique. The size and configuration of their tables are unique. Right now a bespoke, per-client solution (custom coded Excel import) is the way to do it, using FlexSim's excel...() commands.
