I am keeping it linear.  Here is my solution.  I am using AI to generate a dataset since I can't seem to locate a packaged dataset.

Thanks to @gawa for your solution. While I took a different approach, I used yours to check my input and determine which specific records were causing me to not get the correct count. I found my issue and am so grateful to have final solved part 2!

 

It is messy but my solution is attached. Here are screenshots too:

Here's my solution - didn't seem to need a macro for it.

*update*

D'oh! I didn't realize that day 2 was for parts 1 and 2 😞 

Looks like I needed that macro afterall.
