Challenge #55: 2013 Alteryx Grand Prix (L1)

8 - Asteroid

Well this one was a bit of a mess to check.  Like most others, I could not match the output file.  I assume it was (as pointed out elsewhere) that the issue was missing General Merchandise.

 

I was, however, getting an error from the check macro "missing field map for input 1".  Not sure what that means or how I am supposed to resolve it.  If it means the field names are different, that seems like an error in the exercise. How would anyone, especially in the heat of the Grand Prix know that.  Of course, if there is something that tells me that I don't know, please let me know

 

That said, I did match the output of #JamesCameron (the bravest pioneer), so I assume it is right.

 

Me no likee vertical threads

I, like many others, cannot get the macro to verify my results. I checked the sum of my department percentages and they match the sum of percentages in the macro (which is how the answer is verified, to the best of my knowledge). I'm not sure why it says I'm wrong, but as far as I can tell my results are okay.

 

Also, vertical orientation is awful and those old icons are awful!

I think the solution is missing the General_Merchandise
