Option for a crosstab to return an error when aggregating values

Hello

 

I have searched the community but haven't found any obvious solutions to this.

 

When using a cross tab I often find that there shouldn't be any aggregated values and if there is it means there is an issue with my data or workflow.

 

Therefore I think a useful feature would be an option for the cross tab tool to be able to return an error if it trying to aggregate any values.

 

I have a work around by using a summarize tool to count the non unique records and then a test to see if there are any duplicates but I think this could be a useful addition to the tool.

 

Thanks
