I don't know why the Crosstab tool mangles the column name strings, but otherwise here's my solution.

Fun dealing with the special characters and cross-tab tool.  I'll have to check some other solutions and see how others dealt with this problem.

Very cool macro to continually randomize the inputs!

Pretty tricky challenge. Very hard to debug column sorting. I feel like I've tried every combination of sorting and re-ordering before I re-read the description. I absolutely killed it with the Dynamic Select tool. Such a simple solution. It brought the no. of tools down to 3.

 

It's a bit annoying that the shuffle-macro is locked for editing and I cannot rename the file to match (my made up) naming convensionrest of the other weekly challenges. Why?

 

Anywho. I made it, yay me
