Hello,

 

This one confused me i must say. I had more records than the answer. Took me a while to realise my today isnt the answers today :(

I haven't used the Generate Rows tool a lot, so I didn't think about having it just populate the dates, rather than a numeric row ID.  So I used a few more tools than necessary, but I got there anyway. 

 

Also, doing it a couple days late, I had to manually set the date (rather than using DateTimeToday()) to get my results to match exactly.

First post and first challenge completed.  I am betting there are more efficient ways to accomplish, but I got the correct result with about 20 minutes of fumbling around.  Loving the Alteryx.

Accomplished with Unique (for countries), Formulas (max Date), Generate Rows (to pad dates), Append, Two Sorts, Select, Join, Union, and a Running Total.  Added a summary to compare my work to the desired output.  Tough challenge, but fun.  challenge 126.jpg
