Long time solver, first time poster here! I have been waiting patiently to be one of the first solvers of a Weekly challenge and this was a super cool challenge to be my first! I have never used the interactive chart tool, but my Tableau background definitely helped me to the finish line! Looking forward to next week's challenge!

Another fun challenge.  Thank you @caltang for submitting this!

I have... uh... literally never used the Interactive Chart Tool.  But this example, really helped me get familiar with it and i'm excited to apply it in other situations.  I also liked that the input was necessary to handle as a part of the solution.

 

Here's my solution:

I enjoyed this! The fixed-length "wizard" was a little cumbersome to me. I had to iterate a few times before I realized how I could edit the fixed length. I don't work with fixed-length files often, but this was super for getting some practical, relevant practice!
