Challenge #279: How many Olympic Games per Continent?

Here is my solution!

 

Spoiler
I did one solution using Trim and one using RegEx. I also didn't bother breaking them out into three separate outputs, but that would be easy enough to do if needed.

Europe is the clear winner!

 

Spoiler
My two ways were, one - using the trimleft and trimright to remove the unwanted characters and two - using the Text to Columns tool to parse out the '[' and data after as a separate column for the Europe[h] issue then remove all punctuation using the Data Cleanse tool.

I used regex and replace functions for a dynamic/non-dynamic solution.

I almost missed the "provide 2 solutions" part bc I was so eager to start 😋 

Spoiler
one solution is mainly based on the Summary Tool , the 2nd one mainly on the Multi Row Formula Tool! No Trimming Tool was used.

Two solutions (which you can try using the underutilized detour tools), no trim functions: 

 

Spoiler
Unless regex counts as a trim function...
