lazy guy answer without too much formula. could reduce 2/3 of the workflow using the formulas. Make columns could be used for more efficiency

@patrick_digan your solution file is a blank start file.  I am interested in seeing the inner workings of your formula tool in the Highest Peak transformation.  Can you please reattach when you get a chance?
