Help with removing first 3 days from a Max date Field

JKFoil

Hello

Can someone please help me.

 

I have Created a new field, Max Date. I have appended it to the rest of the columns.

 

I now  need to remove rows from a different field referencing the Max Date field  -3 days

 

TimestampMax_ timestamp

I would expect to see only the bottom 2 records.

Hi @JKFoil ,

 

Here's a workflow which demonstrates how you can do this.

to suggest a different route, a filter with the following condition would also work:

 

 

[timestamp]>= datetimeadd([max_timestamp],-3,'days')

 

 

Provided that the data itself was in a datetime format that is recognized by alteryx. If not, then:

 

 

datetimeparse([timestamp],"%y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ") >= 

datetimeadd(

datetimeparse([Max_ timestamp],"%y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ"),

-3,'days')
