Need a project report that shows the single user assigned to a specific role on the project (not multiple users)

Context: I have a report we use weekly to view which users are assigned to a project. We have 1 user assigned to copywriter, 1 user assigned to designer, etc. My report pulls in multiple users sometimes and causes confusion.

Example: It pulls in 2 users for designer, when only 1 is the designer on the project because the second user also has a role of designer, but is not assigned to the designer role on the project. They are assigned to the project in a secondary role, they just also happen to be a designer.

 

The need: I need the report to just return the single user assigned to that specific role on the project/task list. I do not want more than one user returned just because they are on the project but not assigned to that role.

I’d like to avoid creating custom fields on a project and having to populate them manually for each project and then using those custom fields in the report, though I do think that is a possible solution.

 

Text Code I currently use (works great when there is only one designer on a project, not great when there are two but 1 is not in the designer role on the project):



This is the same issue as I see here Project level report that shows only the people that are primary person assigned to tasks based on job role | Community. There was not a solution provided.
The suggested thread to assist Need help with a view field. Trying to pull specific Role ID out of a Project Users and display in Project report. Where have I gone wrong? I've tried a few variations of below: | Community did not resolve my issue.

Rather than using the Project Users collection (and filtering based on job role), you might want to consider using the Task collection and filtering for the specific task the designer is assigned to, so that you’re pulling in exactly what you need.

This worked! I’m going to test it out for a week or two and then roll it out, thank you!
