Cool - never did a macro before.  Got it to work, though I could not figure out how to edit the icon to add the "n!".  I assume it is just a matter of editing the png file.

Process
- Insert rows up to "Number" in input
- Initialise field "factorial" = 1
- Update Factorial (grouped by "Number" to [RowCount] * [Row-1:Factorial]
- Set a "Result" field to 1 if RowCount = Number (else 0)
- Filter for Result =1
- Clean up fields
- Convert input to a macro input (right-clicked on input) and selected "Convert to macro input"
- Added macro output
- Added to container (not sure that is necessary...)
- Saved as macro
- Configured image using Interface Designer

Hi All,

 

Please find my Result below.

Probably not the intent but i took this as an opportunity to use R-Script.... So you don't need a macro, However i Packaged my answer up into one anyhow to comply with the aim... This is my first script and there was a little trial and error, So you will see i left some messages in the script that helped me work out the syntax.

 

Thanks

Mat

Been holding off on macros - a little bit of building them up in my head to be honest - but this wasn't too bad!
