List criteria - relative dates with members who have lapsed

Dear List Gurus,

I'm trying to use  MonRunDate +/- but don't think I'm using it right.

What I'd like to do is pull a list of members who lapsed and became inactive 6 months before the date of my query. I tried referencing the expiration date, +5 months (assuming a lapsed member changes to an inactive one at one month past their expiration). However, when I used +5 the results showed active members.

For status, I have tried both:

  • Is not Active
  • Is Inactive

I'd like to contact members when they haven't been active for half a year. I would like to run this query once a month when I have time. What list criteria would I need for this? Preferably using one list that I keep generating results from and exporting content outputs throughout the year.

Thanks,

JM

  • Hi JM,

    If you want to find people with expiration dates that were 6 months prior to the date you are running a list, you would do -6 months on the expiration date criterion. If you have been entering +5 months that will give you people who have expiration dates in the future, hence your results selecting active members.
