Did this both by creating a macro and using the Factorial function that was probably added after this challenge was posted!

Going through some old challenges to get a better handle on macros.

Great Challenge.  But if I ever needed to calculate the factorial then I would use the formula tool with the factorial inbuilt formula

My solution. Basically the same as the provided solution.

This was a sneaky one. I especially attempted this challenge to practice iterative macros. From this angle the tricky part has been figuring out that for an iterative macro to work, an extra column needs to be provided outside the macro - to keep inputs & recursive inputs aligned while the macro has all the information needed.
