Properly validate formula in pipeline step

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Currently if you have this formula

=If(value< 99999, use-this, use-that)

If use-this or use-that are invalid syntactically (for example do not exist) then we expect an error to be shown.

However, if *current* data does not exercise one path then that path will not be validated and the formula will appear valid.

As an example:

=If (value <= 99999, column-name, non-existent-column-name)

If there are no entries in column "value" that are currently greater  than 99999 then it will not show the formula as being in error because it does not test that "non-existent-column-name" exists.

This is really a design flaw because if some data is later added into "value" that is greater than 99999 it will fail. But it will fail silently and no one will know until they look to see if there are any errors.

This error could and should be identified when the user enters the incorrect syntax. Otherwise there is a risk that the user will be presented with incorrect data with no warning.
