Working with date intervals

There are many scenarios involving dates where you have two or more sets of dates as items or transactions move through a process. It is often desirable to know how many items or transactions are in one state or another at any given time. Unfortunately, this is something that is not straightforward to present in a report given that, with just the raw data, it is difficult, if not impossible, to depict how and when items and transactions transitioned from one state to another.

This recipe presents a simple scenario where help tickets are opened on one date and then closed. This recipe demonstrates how to see how many tickets are in process (open) at different date intervals, such as by year, month, and day.
