Use the Summary Sheet.

Hi @Stacy Meadows

I hope you're well and safe!

Unfortunately, it's not possible now to reference the Column Description, but it's an excellent idea!

Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment.

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!

Best,

In full agreement; even something as simple as selecting a "dominant" sheet within the Report Builder flow that's used for Column Description reference.

There have been a number of these threads created. Consolidating links for in case others want to boost Enhancement Request votes:
