Just realised I hadn't posted yesterdays solution! Good challenge to get the brain working on a Monday morning!

Fell foul of a silly formula error, which was annoying. Trickier Day 1 than usual ...

Going crazy trying to figure out part 2. Got part 1 though!

Discovered that I am WAY too trusting of the example data....will be more suspicious of future data sets! 🙄

Went brute force iterative macro route even though the whole time I was thinking .... there's a way to do this with multirow, I just know it....and of course from other posts I see that's true. Ah well, not bad for an AoC rookie. Still got my 2 stars!

Day 1 - Star 1 fairly straight forward. Loved getting back into it immediately.

Let's not talk about Star 2 - how mean! I thought I was doing good with treating L as negative numbers, but nooo that just make my head hurt at this point.
