Hi All,

I want to follow up on certain files with a 4 day time window of today...-3days.
My data folder contains hundreds of sub folders and thousands of files, so the query becomes slow.

Therefore I want to first query only the folders and extract their created date.
Then merge the folder-created date query to my 4 days time window query.
Result is a list of 4 folders only.
And then query the files only within these folders.

Is this possible and if yes, how?
 

Excel Facts

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.
