    If you have a license for the Allegro Productivity Toolbox, you can use it to quickly report stacked vias in your design.
    1. Open Allegro PCB Editor and choose the Allegro Productivity Toolbox option from the Product Choices window.
    2. Type tbx findpadstack in the Allegro PCB Editor command window.
    3. The Padstack Finder window opens. You can select Stacked Vias in the Objects pull-down menu.
    4. The corresponding stacked via report is generated when you select a stacked via from the list of vias with it's location, via names.

    Give this a try and let me know how it goes.

    Starting from Allegro PCB Editor version 16.6-2015 S053, a new product choice option called Allegro Productivity Toolbox is available in the available product options.
    You will need the following license feature to get the new Productivity Toolbox option with PCB Editor.

    Product Id: PA3150, [Version: 17.4]
    Product Name: Allegro PCB Productivity Toolbox Option

    So, it would be available in 23.1 as well.
