Lookup the text of a predecessor by starting with the predecessor #?

Here is what I'm looking to do…

If I flag a task as being late, I want to look at its predecessors to find the blockage. What is the easiest way to do that?

I'm sure that I will need row numbers in this solution. Let's say I have that covered (I don't). Once I have that ready. I can look at the predecessor #, go to the corresponding row, and then look up or collect the text in the task column.

That sound right to you?

Welcome ideas!
