I think my solution is too hardcoded excited to see what others came up with. The answer I find to be wrong aswell, there should be new rows for each time the event happened over the 1-4 days the event was going on.

Looks like the link is broken now 😓 posting my "attempt". Even checked the most recent solutions that looked to be working for them, just must be broken as of October 2025
