Check every row against rules before it reaches your report.

Define rules per column — required, numeric range, date range, email, phone, regex, allowed list — and get a report of every violation with its row and column. Export the failures, or download a workbook with invalid cells flagged.

Thousands of violations from one rule.

The rule is probably too strict — a required rule on an optional column, for instance. Check the sample values shown next to the rule.
