Slightly changed the original macro (added the date selection tools) and created a batch macro from the original flow. Then build a new small workflow:

Simple solution:
I added a condition to swap the Start and End dates in the filter if the user entered them backward (e.g. 7/1/2019 for the start date and 6/1/2019 for the end date).
Also, I assumed that the calendar input was necessary (and we couldn't just generate the list of dates between Start and End using a Generate Rows tool).
Form:
Batch marco solution (to process each day individually:
I don't really understand the use case for this (why you would need to process each date separately), but here it is!

I was expecting to make a macro, but I've made an app instead!
I'm not quite sure I understand the bonus question. I did some transposing and dynamic renaming so you get a line of data per date with multiple previous dates (if you type multiple dates into the app). But I wondered if this was a batch macro thing... Looking forward to seeing what others have done!
