I decided to build an iterative macro to practice them but after viewing other answers I probably should have attempted bottom up instead of top down even as an iterative macro.  Here's my solution (different than most).

I was haunted by this factorial macro. I knew there was a better way to build it out but I really love my approach with the dynamic replace tool and a batch macro. Now I can finally look at other solutions and see how easy it could've been lol.
