Eldritch Blast

Hello, I'm trying to get eldritch blast to work as a single click macro where it rolls both attacks, the damage for both bolts and shows the critical damage (to be added as necessary). The issue I'm having is getting the advantage roll to roll multiple d20. Here's what i've got so far: @{Hymnal|wtype}&{template:atkdmg} {{mod=@{Hymnal|charisma_save_bonus}}} {{rname=Eldritch Blast}} {{r1=[[@{Hymnal|d20}cs>20 + @{Hymnal|charisma_mod} + @{Hymnal|pb}]] | [[@{Hymnal|d20}cs>20 + @{Hymnal|charisma_mod} + @{Hymnal|pb}]]}} @{Hymnal|rtype}cs>20 + @{Hymnal|charisma_mod} + @{Hymnal|pb}]]}}]]}} {{attack=1}} {{range=120 ft}} {{damage=1}} {{dmg1flag=1}} {{dmg1=[[1d10 + @{Hymnal|charisma_mod}]] | [[1d10 + @{Hymnal|charisma_mod}]]}} {{dmg1type=force}} {{crit1=[[1d10[CRIT]]] | [[1d10[CRIT]]]}} 0 {{globalattack=@{Hymnal|global_attack_mod}}} {{globaldamage=[[0]]}} {{globaldamagecrit=[[0]]}} {{globaldamagetype=@{Hymnal|global_damage_mod_type}}} @{Hymnal|charname_output} Which looks like this with advantage toggled: Any help would be appreciated! Edit: formula has changed a bit. Still need help getting advantage to roll 1d20+mods twice. Edit 2: added a picture of what I've got so far. 
This seems so complicated to me.  Eldritch Blast is a cantrip so there is no loss of spell slot to worry about with multiple attacks which simplifies everything.  (Starting from scratch)  All you have to do is drag and drop the spell onto the sheet, trigger the spell from the spell page, click into the chat box and up arrow, cut all text that pops up, open attributes and abilities tab, make new ability, edit new ability, paste text, hit enter, paste text again, save ability, name ability, flag ability as token action, close sheet, drag character onto map, click token, and click the token action you just created.  This all assumes the 5e sheet by roll20, though I assume it would work with others as well.
Yeah... I know the easy way to do it... I'm trying to be fancy tho (albeit, unnecessarily so).
I'm not certain, but I think that EB will also create an attack on the main page of the sheet.  Hypothetically you could include any snarky comment you want in the description there and substitute keying the attack from there in the example above.  Though I find snarky comments less fun when they become spam in the chat bar.
So, the primary question is: Can I make it so advantage/disadvantage rolls 2d20+modifiers? The goal is to have a single button that is capable of rolling everything (both attack rolls, both damage rolls, both crit rolls, both dis/adv rolls). I've got all but the last bit figured out. The flavor text is meh, I'm not attached to it. I know how to do this in a simple fashion already, but I'd like to make it as compact as possible.
If you're using the 5E by Roll20 sheet, that one has an option to roll double with every attack if you go to the options in the page, the box on the right side has a section that asks about Advantage you can set it to always or Toggle.
Compact... do you mean so as to conserve screen real estate?  Do you know that you can use emoji as the name of your abilities and macros?  Oh, you're trying to make it all output to one chat box.  That one is beyond my skills.
As it turns out..... I figured it out. Here is the output for a level 11 eldritch blast. the ONLY downside is if the crit isn't rolled on the first d20 in either the normal or advantage column then the crit damage doesn't calculate.
Do you mind posting the new macro?
Logan S. said: Do you mind posting the new macro? Sure! You'll need to edit the macro for your player's use, and it isn't perfect, but here you go: @{Hymnal|wtype}&{template:atkdmg} {{mod=@{Hymnal|charisma_save_bonus}}} {{rname=Eldritch Blast}} {{r1=[[@{Hymnal|d20}cs>20 + @{Hymnal|charisma_mod} + @{Hymnal|pb}]] | [[@{Hymnal|d20}cs>20 + @{Hymnal|charisma_mod} + @{Hymnal|pb}]]}} @{Hymnal|rtype}cs>20 + @{Hymnal|charisma_mod} + @{Hymnal|pb}]]}}]]}} {{r2=[[@{Hymnal|d20}cs>20 + @{Hymnal|charisma_mod} + @{Hymnal|pb}]] | [[@{Hymnal|d20}cs>20 + @{Hymnal|charisma_mod} + @{Hymnal|pb}]]}}  {{attack=1}} {{range=120 ft}} {{damage=1}} {{dmg1flag=1}} {{dmg1=[[1d10 + @{Hymnal|charisma_mod}]] | [[1d10 + @{Hymnal|charisma_mod}]]}} {{dmg1type=force}} {{crit1=[[1d10[CRIT]]] | [[1d10[CRIT]]]}} 0 {{globalattack=@{Hymnal|global_attack_mod}}} {{globaldamage=[[0]]}} {{globaldamagecrit=[[0]]}} {{globaldamagetype=@{Hymnal|global_damage_mod_type}}} @{Hymnal|charname_output}
