In the Validate Matches window of the Match Maker show null values as an empty cell.

Showing this to the user may be a faster indicator of what values are empty.

I can see your point, but wouldn't that also make it difficult, if not impossible, to differentiate between null values and empty strings?

Would the word "null" or "(null)" in a light colour satisfy your requirements?

speaking with the users, a 'null' value in a lighter colour would be sufficient.
