My solution to challenge #63 is attached.

My solution - I originally had the date at the start of the week as 'Week of', which makes more sense to me, and in reality I would probably leave the nulls rather than converting them to 0s in this context.

I'll have to review the other solutions, I had to use a lot of tools.

My first take on solution is attached.  I've been successful in analyzing workflows by writing out steps in English and then finding ways to streamline.  However, I just did this one quick while I was waiting for my cube to finish.    

 

I agree that the issue with the crosstab changing the column name by adding spaces is disappointing.  However, I'm enjoying the tool very much.

Always fun with some real life cases

I challenged myself and added a few more steps to circumvent the Cross tab header rename bug. It made the workflow a bit less slick though.
