Definitely should have been more efficient with other tools like Dynamic Rename but overall I'm happy with the selection:

As always more tools than needed, but the solution looks to be correct and the extra tools help me reduce data clutter as I go (:

Merry Christmas!

A little concerned at all that fell out of the join on EIN, but here's what I came up with.

I put a lot of effort into dynamically parsing downloaded data, but the download took so long that in the end I just used the xls and text files.  I did create a batch macro to dynamically figure out how many delimited columns to parse, but I ended up not using it in my final solution. Learned a lot doing that though!

The fundraising efficiency formula (Average Fundraising Expenses ÷ Average Total Contributions) makes it so a lower "efficiency" score is actually better, so I got A Precious Child Inc.
