Hi,

 

Good question, I believe data transform can address this requirement. Can I request the sample input data?

 

Regards,

@hemant86 Transpose to create extra column and cross tab to parse the date into two - method of aggregation is "First" and "Last" both selected (not shown in screen-print), have a good day! 🙂
