easier would be to make a column appear square by adjusting its width.

You could then type an X in the column next to the violation.

Then select the top of the data and do data=Filter=Autofilter and at the
top of this column select the dropdown and pick the X. All the non checked
rows will be hidden.

You can then select the data and copy it to the report sheet. Only the
visible rows will be copied.

To remove the filter repeat Data=filter=autofilter.

If you have lists like

Bedroom
Item1
Item2
Item3
Living Room
Item1
Item2
Item3
Item4

then you would need to keep X's in the rows with the room name or they would
be hidden by the filter

You could organize it

Bedroom X Item1
Bedroom Item2
Bedroom X Item3
LivingRoom Item1
LivingRoom X Item2
LivingRoom Item3
LivingRoom X Item4
