How to select a specific date range

Dario02

Good morning all.

I need a help with a missing tool.

I used to use a tool to select a specific date range from an excel file but now this tool has an "?" symbol and the text "the entry point is invalid" and the below XML Config:

<Configuration>
<Value name="select.date.field">Timestamp</Value>
<Value name="start.end.date">True</Value>
<Value name="start-end.start">2020-01-01</Value>
<Value name="start-end.end">2020-01-31</Value>
<Value name="start.periods">False</Value>
<Value name="start-periods.start">2019-03-04</Value>
<Value name="start-periods.type">Days</Value>
<Value name="start-periods.periods">1</Value>
<Value name="end.periods">False</Value>
<Value name="end-periods.end">2019-03-04</Value>
<Value name="end-periods.type">Days</Value>
<Value name="end-periods.periods">1</Value>
</Configuration>

What can I do to restore this tool?

I am using the Alteryx Designer version 2018.3.5.52487 and I cannot update this version to the latest, so if there is no way to restore this tool, maybe there is another way to do the same with another tool combination?

I just want to select a specific range of date from a large list of dates.

Any guidance will be much appreciated.

Thank you

Hi @Dario02,

I think, it's the Date Filter tool that is causing the problems. It has been deprecated and the functionality has been moved to the Filter tool, so you could replace this tool by the filter tool using the same settings. Does this help?

Best,

Roland
