Ok I guess in short the answer would be that any lines removed from the "FAILED DEVICES" sheet would then cause all the lower ones to move up, in other words no open spaces.
As for columns A-E. When the item is marked as "FAIL" or some other failed keyword, columns A-E of that device would be copied to the "FAILED DEVICES" sheet however when the inspector decides or corrects a problem and changes column "E" on the "FAILED DEVICES" sheet the status of only "E" would be updated on the "INITIATING DEVICES" page. Simply because that information never moved so all we care about is updating column "E" if possible.
