Euleryx Problem 1 - Multiples of 3 or 5

Here's my full workflow and Answer:

Answer: 233168  

Method:

With this being the first problem in the series, we’re kicking things off with a relatively simple challenge. Typically, the challenges do get harder (which will likely become clear by Problem 3), but rest assured, we will do our best to explain what we’ve done.

That being said, the solution below is just one way to solve this problem; there are many different available routes! 

 

 

Here's how I tackled this problem:

1. I began by creating two lists, one list containing all the multiples of 3, and the other list containing all the multiples of 5. I found the Generate Rows tool to be ideal for this task.
   
   
2. Using both the Union and the Unique tool, I created a list of all the distinct multiples of 3 or 5 (below 1000).
   
   
   
   
3. Finally, to sum the column, I used the Summarise tool.
   
   
4. Submit your answer to the Project Euler website. 
   
   

Congratulations, you’ve finished your first Project Euler challenge! Looking forward to seeing you all this time next week for Problem 2.

Similar to others. Kept reducing tools

@patrick_digan I think the IsInteger function would be a nice replacement for you filter in method 2. Although I do like the way yours reads currently 😆

@BS_THE_ANALYST ah thanks! 

[aatalai]

3 tools too 

[BS_THE_ANALYST]

@aatalai the problem stated multiples below 1000. Your generate rows includes 1000 so your answer is slightly bloated. You can submit the answer on Project Euler if you wanna test if the result is correct 😈. 

Me and you went for the exact same route, by the way. Everything the same including the 1000 🥴🤣

The IsInteger function is a nice idea @BS_THE_ANALYST 

Having said that, I'm enjoying the different approaches too. I like @aiahwieder's use of the mod function

@Pilsner 
At least, judging by the snapshot of spoiler, no one has been using Multi-row tool? 😁

Pretty much same approach as @TheOC 

[Pilsner]

@Qiu I think your right, I like your solution! The multi-row is such a flexible tool, I should consider it more than I currently do.

Using math to get the 2 Tool increment value:

RowCount + Min(5-Mod(RowCount,5),3-Mod(RowCount,3))

Happy Solving, everybody!
