Spreadsheet Validation Only

$

I have a process where a spreadsheet must be validated, but the end user doing the validation can not *change* the spreadsheet without permission. It sort of works like this.

 

The user selects a set of rules to use for a specific kind of spreadsheet. They select the spreadsheet they want to investigate then they initiate the analysis.

 

The analysis results in a report that says what's wrong with the spreadsheet. Example

 

Tab {Name of tab}/{Column Letter}{Row Number} Error message....

 

So in reality it would look like this:

Tab Client/D3 - Invalid format for Zip code

 

Alteryx is a great tool to massage data, merge things and make the output data you need.

 

I'm at a loss though as to how to get it to report the cell Tab/Column/Row where the problem is.
