Hello
Looking for a few ideas to handle a data trim operation
Two tables for a helpdesk report:
I have incident data exported in an .xls tab that has an incident number (Ticket#) and a user number (ID) (TICKETS DATA)
In a second tab, I have a subset of the users (ID) number and a date (START DATE) (ProjectDATA)
What I want to do is show only the Ticket# for people that have a matching ID in PROJECT but also fall within a certain date range (15 days before and 15 days after) their START DATE in ProjectDATA.
So basically we wind up with only incident data that is a 30 day view of tickets before and after a specific start date, but that START DATE could be different for each user.
(One has startdate of 5/1, i want tickets from April 16 to May 15 for that user; a second starts on mAY 16 so I want ticket# from May 1 to May 30 for them, etc etc...)
What do ya have for me?

Simple data
So for two users in Project Data i would only want to see those entries in Tickets that are within 15 days of the Email1 date in Project Data for each user. There would be 2 for bkantesa and 3 for malko left based on the data below.
Project Data
| ID | User Name | Email1 Date | Email2 Date | Email3 Date | State |
| bkantesa | Kento, Barto | 11-May-18 | - | - | NJ |
| malko | Mitch, Sam | 1-Jun-18 | - | - | NJ |
Tickets
