Hello All,
I'm trying to create an alteryx workflow which will generate values based on the dates mentioned in the existing column.
So I've few tests that has a activation and decommission date.
Now I've to add a column using alteryx which will generate the current dates.
so here are the conditions on which the values should be generated
Condition 1: If test 1 activation date 10/1/2019 and no decommission date. It should generate 6 months previous and future months like this (based on the current month like 11/24/2021)
5/1/2021 |
6/1/2021 |
7/1/2021 |
8/1/2021 |
9/1/2021 |
10/1/2021 |
11/1/2021 |
12/1/2021 |
1/1/2022 |
2/1/2022 |
3/1/2022 |
4/1/2022 |
Condition 2: If the activation date is 9/1/2021 and no decommission date. the new column should generate 6 months forward dates based on the current month and activation date
9/1/2021 |
10/1/2021 |
11/1/2021 |
12/1/2021 |
1/1/2022 |
2/1/2022 |
3/1/2022 |
4/1/2022 |
Condition 3: If the activation date is 10/1/2019 and decommission date is 12/1/2021. The dates should be like this
5/1/2021 |
6/1/2021 |
7/1/2021 |
8/1/2021 |
9/1/2021 |
10/1/2021 |
11/1/2021 |
12/1/2021 |
It should be 6 months previous to the activation date month and end till the decommission date.
All these data will be generated based on months and year. I've attached an excel sheet with expected input and output.
Also in the output I've highlighted the section that should not show up in the output.
Dataset is also available in the attachment
Please let me know if we can achieve this using alteryx.
the current month will be generated using alteryx.

Please see solution attached:
Pay close attention to the generate rows tool.
Example Output
As a note the output example you provided takes the current date + 5 months: For Test 1 this yields 12 months.
IF you wanted current month plus 6 month the final result would actually be 13 months for Test 1.
Hello @csmith11
Thank you so much for your response.So I'm getting the date conversion error while running the workflow
Screenshot attached.
Could you please advise

also one thing I've noticed that whenever I'm trying to use the attached excel dataset, value for activation date and decommission date is showing null in formula tool.(although activation date has date values)
dataset and workflow attached
Hi @swapsingh2712,
You were using a DateTimeParse() rather than a DateTimeFormat() to change the format of the dates:
I've attached an updated workflow for you to download if needed!
Kind regards,
Jonathan
