2014 result is tied at 9 - 'The Best of Me' by Nicholas Sparks  (Matches answer in output) & 'The Target' by David Baldacci (New Answer). Based on sorting rule, David Baldacci's 'The Target' wins as he had the higher # of weeks result.

Not too bad.  Needed the brush-up on reporting tools.

***Updated solution yxzp to account for additional dual authors that the embedded output leaves out.***

 

Probably some opportunity to streamline the parsing. The plus side is more documentation 🙂 

Fun challenge, loved playing with the charting tools and reporting tools.
