In this tutorial, we will walk through setting up an Intersect sub query. A good way to think about Intersects is - use them if you need a list of something that appears in two seperate lists.

In this scenario our main report will have a list of athletes that attended camps in the current year. We will then create a list of athletes from the previous year, and only return a list of athletes that are in both. This will effectively give us a list of athletes that are return customers from last year.
