Sum_CountDistinct_Concat_DownloadData is my best output field name yet, but I've realised now I didn't need to concat before the tokenise to rows

Another puzzle well suited for Alteryx! 

 

@NicoleJohnson you're too quick!

I feel like this "traveling with large groups of elves through airports" theme is kind of mocking our current world 2020 situation, particularly since I was *supposed* to be leaving for Australia in 10 days (before this dumpster fire year wrecked that plan)... but I have loved these AoC puzzles so far. So I guess you win some, you lose some? 😉

@Greg_Murray  It's a struggle - I've had to convince my 6 year old to go to bed earlier than usual this month so that "Mommy can have her advent calendar too," and I think this is probably going to cause more trouble than it's worth because it turns out 6 year olds do not equate coding challenges as equivalent to chocolate, and "Because winning makes Mommy happy" is apparently not seen as a good excuse for early bedtimes... but DARN IT, I like doing Alteryx fast. ("Go to bed, child!!") 😉

 

You are giving me a run for my money though, I can feel you right at my heels!!

@NicoleJohnson I love it! My wife said she can tell its serious because I talk about it the same way I used to talk about basketball when I was playing. Nothing like a little healthy competition!😄

Definitely one for Alteryx.  @NicoleJohnson - it doesn't get easier when the kids get older.  My only kid left at home is my 17 year old daughter and she and my wife are shaming me for "geeking out over extra credit Alteryx".

@T_Willins  Yeah, but you're using Christmas colors in your comment boxes! It's festive!!! Tell them to stop being such Grinches... 😉

Another challenge well suited to Alteryx. I need to look at @T_Willins solution as it's done with fewer summarise tools.
