Identify mismatched status (cells)
Tough one to explain.
I have three colulmns that I use a role-based status.
Col A (Status for Role 1) - Ingest, In Progress, Complete
Col B (Status for Role 2) - Ingest, In Progress, Complete
Col C (Status for Role 3) - Ingest, In Progress, Complete
When a person with Role 1 changes the Assigned person to Role 2, an automation kicks in, clearing the Status in Col A and changing the status in Col B to Ingest. Then a person with Role 2 assigns to Role 3, Col B is cleared and Col C is populated.
With me so far?
I'm now dealing with a sheet with thousands of rows and sometimes the automation doesn't fire.
I'd like to create a report (or automation with a notification that looks for mismatches) that looks for the following:
Assignee is Role 2 (so Status should be Col B) but the Status is still Col A (suggesting the automation didn't fire).
The problem I have is that multiple reports are created based on role but some rows are getting orphaned if the the automation doesn't fire for some reason and I need a quick way to identify these rows.

Have you tried creating a row report filtered to show rows where assignee is role 2 and status b is blank?
