Really fun challenge from using a list of sheets and dynamic input to making an iterative macro to run the two time series on each category and comparing the parameter score. Then thanks to @JamesCharnley I was made aware of the TS Factory Tool downloadable that ran the time series across groups.

This has been awesome to revisit!

 

I tried to build a very dynamic process, but ultimately decided it would be best to work with 1 family of forecast models instead of pooling all of them.

 

here's my take

Please find attached my solution. I used the TS Factory model and forecast tools to simplify the model creation process.

Thank you, @ChristineB!

I don't have R-tool functionality, so my TS Forecast macro errored out, but I was able to follow the logic from the solution provided. 

I leveraged the macros from the solution provided in lieu of my R-tool errors.
