Waves and Wave Dates match within cells in Release Report Merged

What is the challenge?

If a release has a multiple waves with the same name (e.g., "Custom") OR waves with the same date (e.g., Beta - 2 & GA - 1 both release on March 10), then the duplicative cells (name or date) are combined and do not line up against the correct wave/date

If we move the waves to be rows rather than cells, then the rows are repeated multiple times creating duplicative release line items and extremely long and unusable reports.

What is the impact?

There is heavy manual effort to realign Waves and Dates to make sense of and confirm releases. We cannot surface the release report to clients as a webpage, as the information is often misleading or inaccurate. This means we have to continue with a manually created weekly document to update users on upcoming releases or will have to build a new report in a different application like PowerBI to surface to clients.

Describe your idea

Don't de-dupe cells for Release Waves & Wave Dates, similar to how an XLS doc would show them
