How to FIND Field visibility report on multiple Page Layouts for multiple Objects in single click?

Idea

I am Thankful to one of my BOFC user "Barbara" who has shared this below request:

"Is there a way to add onto a report or excel whether or not a field is currently active on a page layout (and if yes, which page layout)? This is something that’s always been a pain point to keep track of."

This is a time-consuming and a monotonous job for Salesforce developers and admin to manually open each layout for each object and create a report for it.

Solution
