Well said Paul,
But I think Objective of group discussion on any tool (Excel here) is not just helping peoples to complete their project it's also to make them expert so that they can use Excel more smartly . so the challenges gives them opportunity to improve their skills and to understand how Array and other formulas works. Yes, I said that " I don't think helper column is required". but nobody said that it's not possible without helper column. The Objective behind is to make them think deeply about the situation and post accordingly. That's why I said "I was expecting many replies from you."

So, if it's simply a problem posed as a "challenge", I for one ignore it. #2) You specifically said: "I don't think helper column is required " The result utilizes a "helper column" (E) and therefore doesn't meet the criteria.
