Grouping activities together, according to variable date ranges.

Hi, i'm a noob at Alteryx designer, and i want to design a somewhat complex function ( for me atleast).

 

My goal is to group activities, that happen on the same day. I was able to do so, using filters and filtering the StartDate and EndDate, and finding the activities that happen on that day. But the issue here, is that the Start- and EndDate can change, (imagine new activies are fetched from a data base) The StartDate and EndDates should be handled as variables. But at the moment i'm clueless how to do so.

 

The matching activities are colored for demo purposes.

I really hope to see if someone can help give a hint in the right direction.

@thoe0059 
When you same day, based on Start or end or both?

You can adjust the Tile Option to reflect that.

Hi @Qiu, thanks for quick response - it really helps!

 

When i say same day, it should be based on both Start and End day, i guess this could be configured by "checking" these in the tile settings? 

 

I have another questions, that you maybe can answer. If the day is in the format YYYY/MM/DD and the month is September "09" how can i then get rid of the "0" and only have "9"
