Discussion thread for day 3 of the Advent of Code - https://adventofcode.com/2023/day/3
Any workflow where I get to use the Tile tool, or where I can change both the data contents and data type using a single Multi-Field formula, is my favorite workflow!!!
When I get to do both, well, that's just an irresponsible amount of fun!!!
That was HARD. I can't explain what I did, but it made sense to me :D I also gave up on the pretty annotations by the time I got to Part 2
I was thinking if I could apply Spatial Analysis to this kind of X-Y coordinates problem, and come up with one.
build a macro for split to xy position and add adjacent. it used quite a lot in previous years.
Messy and inelegant - this is clearly my first time thinking about this type of problem. Glad to see all the smarter ways everyone approached this, to learn from for the next time.
catching up.....
