It did indeed (see attached)!I added another join to the query - it runs now 3 sec (we started with 2 min 25 sec).
I'm excited and proud (as if I did it all by myself 🙂
3 seconds sounds more like what I would think should be in the realm of acceptable. That is a far cry from 2:25 or even the 1:08 or whatever that you were ok with. 😉
Glad we were able to sort this out. Come back anytime you run into issues.
