I successfully overcomplicated it today

Spoiler

I decided to hold all the variables in a single cell and just parse it. I was anticipating a much harder part 2...

Still manageable at this point !

It's cool how simple @jdunkerley79's alteryx abacus can make things by allowing everything in a single formula tool (non-BaseA):

Day 2 done!

Thanks to @NicoleJohnson that posted a question and @estherb47 that anwered it, I was able to manage this one (Still having a lot of issues with my english).

Once you pass the "language barrier", it gets fairly easy.

[estherb47]

Managed to keep it simple, despite having to read the instructions many times over.

Also, there is no way I can maintain staying up so late for the drop. Especially once they get challenging!

Getting back in the habit of using vectors-as-strings to keep the tool count down(But the expressions get more complex)

Getting a lot of use out of the multi-row formula tool so far!
