This may be my first tool golf success on first try! 2 tools each for parts 1 and 2. This is the way I thought of the problem.

I didn't use Join tool for Part 1, of course prep section need the join tool.

I felt like I do this kind of thing a lot with dates within a range so seem pretty straight forward this one.

I'm a muppet, wasted 20 mins and 4 guesses using strings instead of ints so my logic was sound but the answer was wrong!

Always check your data types......! Anyway that was a fun one!
