Challenge #392: Calculate Climate Extremes

I couldn't tell how the table was supposed to be sorted, so it's not sorted the same as the answer.

I am skipping SQL this time. Only Alteryx and Python code. I am not saying impossible in SQL but highly impractical to use SQL for such parsing in real life.

Fun to play with parsing!

To make it a bit more challenging, I chose to parse the headers as well and chose to make 3 different ways to tackle tasks 1-4.

I haven't checked the solution yet, but I expect the solution will use sort & sample, then union the results.

I also added 2 other methods: one without union or joins and one with basic summarize functions that does use joins and unions.

It's fascinating there could be such extremes for states and territories a part of the same country.
