Challenge #47: Vehicle Identification Number Test

My solution is slightly extended as I feel the letter check (I, O & Q) is missed out by most of the solutions. Try this out..

If the VIN with all alphabets ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQ had Zero in the 9th place instead of letter "I" (i.e. ABCDEFGH0JKLMNOPQ), the regular 9th place VIN check would have validated this as a correct one.

@SeanAdams @TaraM @MarqueeCrew  - you are my angel guides for Alteryx, what are your thoughts.

Really interesting challenge. In my previous job, I had to manually code a similar algorithm to verify check digits for our accounting team. I REALLY wish I had Alteryx back then...
