Found this one suprisingly tricky to filter the results down - must be tired! Got there in the end.

Thanks for a good presentation today on the challenge. 

 

I went back to try to solve, and did.  The one thing that I did not like was how the posted answer fabricated "Removed Date" = 7/1/2019 for those rows that did not have a Removed Date.  My solution maintains a Removed Date of Empty (null), which I feel is more accurate and might avoid misinterpretation if this was a production query.

 

This challenge also created a challenge for me, a SQL guy.  I am used to being able to join two tables and use functions and Boolean operators in my "group by" statement.  That would have made this much simpler.  So I had to find a way to split this group by into multiple steps.  I got to what I needed though.

 

This was my first time using Alteryx.  I thought it was a good exercise.  Feel free to comment.

 

Thanks

Josh

Awesome seeing some of the sleeker solutions once I had completed my own! Great reason that I love the weekly challenges.
