Euleryx Problem 1 - Multiples of 3 or 5
Here's my full workflow and Answer:

Answer: 233168
Method:
With this being the first problem in the series, we’re kicking things off with a relatively simple challenge. Typically, the challenges do get harder (which will likely become clear by Problem 3), but rest assured, we will do our best to explain what we’ve done.
That being said, the solution below is just one way to solve this problem; there are many different available routes!
Here's how I tackled this problem:
- I began by creating two lists, one list containing all the multiples of 3, and the other list containing all the multiples of 5. I found the Generate Rows tool to be ideal for this task.
- Using both the Union and the Unique tool, I created a list of all the distinct multiples of 3 or 5 (below 1000).
- Finally, to sum the column, I used the Summarise tool.
- Submit your answer to the Project Euler website.
Congratulations, you’ve finished your first Project Euler challenge! Looking forward to seeing you all this time next week for Problem 2.
