It's not going to win any awards for beauty, but it got across the finish line.

Nice to be back in a comfortable Alteryx area...

This was a good one, a little bit needle in a haystack finding the matches but it was satisfying when I worked out the approach to pairing of rules and ticket parts. And yes its nice to be back in Base A!

Ran out of steam on Sunday so am missing a few days, trying not to look at the threads in detail but it looks like I missed some trickier ones!

Anyway nice to be back involved, here's my tidied up solution with an iterative macro to whittle down the field name/column numbers.

Macro-free solution (with annotations) below. Runs in 2 seconds but certainly a lot of tools.......!

Like @Steph_Maddrell's solution, macro free.  Lots of tools, but fast 1.6 seconds for both parts

Ugly but fast.

Very messy but gets the job done. It made sense when I was building it, but I used way too many tools.
