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!

Yes, you have the right idea! It sounds like you just have single predecessors for each task? In that case, it is easy.
I made a video (quickly) to answer your question!
