Not sure if I’m headed in the right direction, just sharing what I’ve come across so far.  
It seems that the solution may be affected by where I store the data. I’m leaning towards this perspective based on how others solved similar problems using Google sheets see: [Tutorial - QUERY: "The most powerful function" in Google Sheets (part 1) - #4 by ThinhDinh](https://community.glideapps.com/t/tutorial-query-the-most-powerful-function-in-google-sheets-part-1/10432/4)

Maybe something similar can be done with airtable. I’m not sure if I can pull this off using glide tables. If I hit a deadend, I’ll switch my backend to support the use case.
