Hello ocampocliff1,
here is the csv i created:

if the date format is different on your end, you will have to change the time format in the eval statements. you can find the formats here: https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.5.2/SearchReference/Commontimeformatvariables

using this search:

| inputlookup accounts.csv 
 | eval new_time = strptime(date, "%m/%d/%Y") 
 | eval c_time=strftime(new_time,"%m/%d/%y %H:%M:%S") 
 | eval now = now() 
 | where new_time > now 
 | table account, c_time 

i got this:

you can play with the | where clause as you please to find accounts on a time frame

Hope it helps
