Yeah go for macro. Only proud part is I tried to use min and max, doing too much SQL recently, using metadata information is quick and less costly to read whole table and compute row by row, better for parallelism as well.

It's iterative macro time, it's iterative macro time! Iterative macro with a Multi-Row! Iterative macro with a Multi-Row!

Was a little more tricky yesterday, but mainly cos I refused to make a macro this early
