Took me forever to realize I needed to enable the field mapping for my batch macro!

That could be the longest I've spent on any individual challenge yet! The macro itself feels relatively obsolete but I'm happy with the experience gained

I don't think the sample output is correct.  For the month of August, there were 9 accounts opened in the prior two years (not counting August) and only 1 account closed.  This should result in a ratio of 1/9, which is 0.11 repeating, not 0.2.  I'm not sure where the sample output got 5 opened accounts from for that calculation.
