Challenge #110: Think Like a CSE...Reduce the manual inputs!

I put all the inputs into the macro, otherwise quite similar. Also used the record gen tool to completely replace the text input tool

I am unsure what the benefit of processing each date individually is, but the analytic applications are great to enable users to configure the workflows themselves.

So the reason this took 4 days for me is because my macro's input anchors weren't in the order I was expecting. However, the errors I was was receiving were misleading because it indicated that the macro's workflow was the problem. Now I know how to fix this by using a video posted on Youtube by @MarqueeCrew. Hopefully this helps anyone who has similar issues. Lesson learned. Always make sure your anchors are in the right place, and never give up searching for answers! 

 

Finally finished this problem after 4 DAYS of trying to get it to work (around an hour per day). Why did it take so long? The explanation is in the spoiler!

My solution.

 

I add the interface tools to calendar macro.

And I change the co-worker's workflow to Analytic App.
