Very interesting challenge. I used an iterative macro to solve this challenge. But had to manually copy and paste my macro to various sheets to debug it.

This was great iterative macro practice! This is one of those situations where I really wish we had a way to highlight/upvote specific solutions, because there are a LOT of different ways to make this happen.

Multi-row formula tools cracked this code for me! However, a lot of ctrl+c, cntrl+v of workstream snippets probably means there's a more elegant solution than mine. Always happy to arrive at the right final answer though!

This macro is sick, very well done.

Great challenge. I fell into a couple of pitfalls initially so quite frustrating trying to finish it off.  Got there in the end.
