The question was a little ambiguous, only by checking the expected output I found out that I had to start on 07/01, not 06/01.

Good one 🙂

My first attempt had an interesting error. Took some time to troubleshoot with the second solution.

 

Method 1 does not work because the sum of the tag values Pizza/Burger + Side+ Drink may be greater than 3 if three pizzas are ordered without a side or drink (which does not qualify as a meal).

 

Attaching both attempted workflows- maybe someone would find it useful!

My solution.  A fun challenge.

my approach was to filter out irrelevant records, then used cascaded joins to arrive at all tickets with the 3 types required, which produced some duplicate records, so used Unique to pare down.
