Hello All,
I'm new in Alteryx and until now most of my work I made using Excel and VBA - so please excuse me if my case is insolvable in ALTX - I simply do not know limitation of the program.
Right now I'm trying to learn this new tool and move some (preferably most) of the processes related to data preparation to ALTX.
In this case I need to merge/group rows for consecutive Trips into one, keeping information about earliest start date and latest end date for the destination.
Rows are to be grouped ONLY for same TRIP ID and Country.
Continuous trip means both:
1) start date 1 : 1/1/2017 end date 1: 1/2/2017; start date 2: 1/2/2017 end date 2: 1/4/2017
2) start date 1: 1/1/2017 end date 1: 1/2/2017; start date 2: 1/3/2017
So for Trip ID 321, I need to check if "Country" is repeating and if the trip is continuous and merge it into 1 row, for 123 there is no continuity:
| TRIP ID | Country | start date | end date | number of days in travel | TRIP ID | Country | start date | end date | number of days in travel | ||||||
| 123 | Poland | 1/1/2017 | 1/3/2017 | 123 | Poland | 1/1/2017 | 1/3/2017 | ||||||||
| 123 | Germany | 1/3/2017 | 1/5/2017 | 123 | Germany | 1/3/2017 | 1/5/2017 | ||||||||
| 123 | Poland | 1/5/2017 | 1/7/2017 | 123 | Poland | 1/5/2017 | 1/7/2017 | ||||||||
| 321 | Germany | 1/2/2017 | 1/4/2017 | 321 | Germany | 1/2/2017 | 1/6/2017 | ||||||||
| 321 | Germany | 1/4/2017 | 1/6/2017 | 111 | Poland | 1/10/2017 | 1/12/2017 | ||||||||
| 111 | Poland | 1/10/2017 | 1/12/2017 | 222 | Poland | 1/14/2017 | 1/27/2017 | ||||||||
| 222 | Poland | 1/14/2017 | 1/20/2017 | ||||||||||||
| 222 | Poland | 1/21/2017 | 1/23/2017 | ||||||||||||
| 222 | Poland | 1/24/2017 | 1/27/2017 |
I'm attaching file with the example (presented in table above), and sample data.
I've solved it using VBA loops and tabular formulas but I have not idea how to solve it in ALTX.
Thank you for help
Have a great weekend.
