The dataset feels kind of puny -this would definitely be a more fulfilling challenge if there were tons of entries. and maybe more data prep...

How to do it as a beginner?

  • Do not fret to over use filters/tools when you are learning, especially with AND logic, infact it is more efficient that way!

Think of it as filtering a 100 rows on 3 conditions at once

OR

100 with one condition, 30 with another, 10 with third

The second one is always better

 

  • Batch Macro: Always helps repeat tasks if you want to do it for a group. In this case start of month, please understand this is the difference between a standard a batch macro.

This took me quite a while to puzzle through. I decided the best approach was for me to make a single workflow that worked for one month, then I started putting the Batch Macro together to iterate through the other months. I had an error which was showing I was passing a Date field through my numerical Months filter, so had to do some digging to find the right parameter in the Macro block.
