I thought also about a calculation field to split the Month|User and have 2 separate field I can use separately but I couldn’t find how to do it : https://doc.tiki.org/Calculations

Thanks for guidance,

I am not sure Trackers natively support your use-case where you have 2 different values Month and User in one field and want to restrict items from other trackers based on part of the field.
