A solution to last week’s challenge can be found here.Weekly Challenge Image 309.png

 

The dataset is a short sample of Rotten Tomatoes's list of 100 best movies written by women. These are highly Certified Fresh films (nothing on the list falls below 94%) whose screenplay credit goes in part or fully to women.

 

The challenge is to create a PDF catalogue to create a list of 10 movies written by women. The catalogue must contain: name, cover, writer, synopsis, critics consensus, starring, director.

All,

Spoiler
This was a fun one!
-I used:
2 Crosstabs
4 Select Tools
1 Dynamic Rename
4 Text to Columns ( I used these versus using a Multi-Row formula to avoid any Custom Code, which is a thing of mine)
1 DownloadCapture.PNG Tool
1 Basic Table to finish up.
-Cheers!

Tried to keep it simple so I didn't use RegEx to remove the labels from the cells.
