I have the most recent version of the MDS Excel plug in installed in Excel 2013, and am running SQL Server 2012 Enterprise. The Apply Rules button does not perform validation as it should. If I "Publish" data that does not conform to the business rules I have set up, it does return the proper errors indicating what rules have been violated; just using the "Apply Rules" button does not. I have twice gotten it to work momentarily by turning Show Status on and off several times in succession, but I have not been able to identify any consistent sequence that caused it.
Any help offered to resolve my problem would be appreciated.
