Formula Variable to Validate Input Values

Question

Hi experts,
I created a query with some exceptions which uses formula variables to validate these exceptions. But I have a requirements for these formula variables. Eg: Certain user can only enter the selection range of values 1-50 for this formula variables during the run time, if the user enter the values more than > 51, the user will not be able to see the report results and the query will show message saying that the user is not authorized to see the results with this selection. And certain user will be able to see the report results for selection values more than 51.
Any idea of how to achieve this? I planning to create a customer exit but I do not know what code to use here.
Thanks alot.

Just now i noticed that even wtih user hooks, it is not feasible: Please validate my approach is correct or not.
i used query:
select api_module_id, module_name, module_package
from hr_api_modules
where module_name like '%ELEMENT%ENT%';
API_MODULE_ID MODULE_NAME MODULE_PACKAGE
78 CREATE_ELEMENT_ENTRY PY_ELEMENT_ENTRY_API
79 UPDATE_ELEMENT_ENTRY PY_ELEMENT_ENTRY_API
80 DELETE_ELEMENT_ENTRY PY_ELEMENT_ENTRY_API
178 PAY_ELEMENT_ENTRIES_F     
but .. i dont see any hook record for api_module_id = 78 in hr_api_hooks table.
select *
from hr_api_hooks
where api_module_id = 78;
-- No Records for above Query.
My conclusion is, we cannot register our custom package with PY_ELEMENT_ENTRY_API.create_element_entry module.
Please validate my conclusion is correct or not.
if this is correct, It is really unfortunate that, i cannot implement this simple validation.
