I got through Part IV. Got way too overwhelmed at Section III :)

 

Spoiler
Part IV (debugging) was solved by filtering out non-uppercase alpha characters, i.e. the question marks).

I solved Section III using hints from the links provided in the solution.

 

Spoiler
I followed the recipe from this link... I found the other link hard to follow.

I was able to use the same solution to get both sections 1 and 2 with the addition of a Filter for section 2!

Such an awesome challenge @TerryT! I finally was able to get to this and complete the first two sections. I plan on continuing down the third section. I am with @NicoleJohnson that I am not sure where I would have started without some hints. Even when I looked at this in the past, I had to look at the hints. It shall be some sleepless nights to try and solve section 4!

Spoiler
I worked through each part to solve getting the correct wheel and cipher wheels. Once I had those I used the place to determine which wheel to use and then a replace formula to find the right letter to decrypt the text.

Very fun, very challenging!  I got most of the way thru Section III ?   At that point I couldn't follow what the instructions were saying anymore...
