Very different from the actual solution and even solution by others.

 

Took a little time considering it was a Macro!

 

The solving thrill continues!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

This is how my macro looks like and the solution is attached.

Once I added the RecordID, this made my solution much easier. This assumes the input is in order with each employee's manager appearing one row below them in the list.

This one was fun.  I did it pretty much the same as the solution provided.  I think that it may have been easier with a recursive query in SQL though.  ;) 

 

The one major difference was that I created a record for the CEO (he manages himself).  I don't think the CEO would be too happy to be left out!

Eventually had to look at the solution, but for a first iterative macro Alteryx challenge I'm glad I got somewhere along the right lines!
