Date Calculation woes
Hi Folks,
I have data that looks like this below:
| ID | Shares | Vest Date | Shares 2 | Vest Date 2 | Shares 3 | Vest Date 3 |
| 123213 | 1000 | 11/1/2018 | 2221 | 11/1/2019 | 1111 | 11/1/2020 |
| 213124 | 333 | 4/10/2017 | 333 | 4/10/2018 | 3334 | 4/10/2019 |
What I need to do is find out how many shares will vest after a certain date. So if I wanted to say all shares vesting after 4/10/17, I'd want all of the values show here except 4/10/17, but I need it to also sum those shares. Afterwards, I then need to bucket it in fiscal years. I may also need to break it down and say between "11/1/2018-11/1/2019" X amount of shares will be vested.
I can't use a date table for all of these separate date columns, so what's the best way to do this? I'm rather stumped and I think I'm overthinking it.
Many thanks.

Hey,
I have to admit that I do not understand what you are tring to achieve.
I recommend that you create an Excel file that contains sample data, upload the file to onedrive or dropbox and share the link.
This provides you with the possibilty to make up your expected results based on your sample data and helps tremendously to avoid misunderstandings.

Our stock plan has shares disbursed over 3 years granted to employees (Shares 1, 2, and 3). So for example, the first person in the row was granted a total of 4,332 shares (1000, 2221, and 1111). These shares are split over 3 vesting years which is vest date 1, vest date 2, vest date 3.
What I need to supply as a report is, out of all of the employees on the roster (Denoted by "ID" which is their empoyee ID), is how many Shares will vest after a certain date.
So if I got a request that says, "I need to know how many shares vest between 10/1/19 and 12/1/2020" total It would then look at the 3 date columns and share columns and say spit out a sum using "2221+1111+3334" because the dates fall within the above range and it would SUM them together.
Is that a better explanation? Sorry for not explaining more before.
