Challenge #374: Using Iterative Macros

Wow!! This was Fun!! Learnt a lot about iterative macros while solving.

Key tip: You can loop additional fields back to source. This is how I could manage with only 1 input column. Please check the workflow for methodology.

I didnt see any mention in the fine print that a batch macro couldn't be part of the iterative macro 🤠 Welp either way I snuck one in there. You can do operations in a formula tool with plain ol numbers, so the string couch* number cough* was inserted into the formula before the math kicked in 🐎

I am so happy I have completed this challenge! Like some others, I had to create an empty column to achieve my output but otherwise, the solution met all the conditions and the numbers are accurate. Two months ago I couldn't even conceptualize how to approach this so I am so happy I was able to knock it out in less than thirty minutes lol. I will review other solutions to see how this can all be done within the macro and then I will never forget how to make a factorial macro ever again because it has haunted me for too long.

This was crazy hard for me to approach. I tried so hard not to make a null column text input to reference but I gave in. An extremely educative challenge.
