Filter RecordIDs by multiple start/end values

NickKierstead

Hi, all, not sure if this can be done in-line or with a macro, but I am trying to filter out specific lines/RecordIDs in a set of data. The Start/End lines are generated at run time. 

 

GroupStartLineEndLine
1234110
12343040
43211129
43214150

 

I wrote a batch macro that uses the start/end lines to pass through a filter, to separate the groups, but the results are not clean due to how it iterates. My goal is to generate two mutually-exclusive lists from one source (50 lines in this example) based on the start/end line table above. Every line indicated between the start/end lines for group 1234 would be one output and all the lines for 4321 would be the fail or another output. Thanks, in advance!

You can use the generate rows to create the additional lines and then filter.

Thanks, I am not sure how that might be applied, below is a schematic of my current macro and the macro itself, plus a project that hopefully shows how I am intending this to work.  Not sure why all the record IDs are getting through.

hi @NickKierstead  im not sure I know exactly what you want, but could this work?

That worked with some modification and very elegant use of that tool. Thank you!
