This one took a lot longer than it might otherwise have done due to some sneaky data issues!!  🙂

 

I also played along with the Easter Egg, which was fun but the icons we have now are much easier to read so I'm grateful that they were updated.

 

My solution :

I have included two data channels to highlight to users not already aware that the Float data type can sometimes introduce inaccuracies when converting from strings.

I fiddled around with various different versions of the Regex I used to extract the values before I was able to overcome the difference in format at the end of the very long strings in 3 of the rows.  These discrepancies were very naughty hiding where they were hard to spot because of the lengths of the strings, but then strange things do happen with data from some systems so it was a good exercise.

I didn't like the old icons... So I did mine in the new icons haha. It was fun freaking out my coworkers with the trick though!
