Loops in Alteryx

Hi All,

I am trying to solve a problem where I want this input 

to be converted to this output

The logic behind this should be - Loop through the data and check where Value = 0, If Value = 0 check if previous row is 1 and if this condition is True (extract the Timestamp Value for the Value = 0), Now look for Value = 1 afterwards, as soon as we get 1, extract the timestamp value for that (Final Timestamp). If the sequence is 1, 0, 1 - it's easy but what if there are 100 zeros between 2 1s. So we basically have to make Groups of these kind of patterns (type 1 : 1, 0, 1 and in other cases, it should be 1, 0, 0,1 or 1,0,0,0,0,0,1 and so on) and then fetch minimum and maximum timestamp for each group. Please suggest me the best solution. It could be direct or through Iterative Macros.

Thanks in advance!!!

I don't know if it's the best solution, but I think this works:

I'm generating data using random values so it won't look the same every time, but I believe the groups are correct based on your description.
