Filter based on Date and type of state

Hello,

 

I have a dataset which look something like table below.

2020-03-05_18-32-35.png

 

The output I am trying to get is as following. For each ID if the latest State transitioned to is either A, K, C or W, than take only latest date transitioned out of State and latest State transition To for that ID. If the latest State transitioned to is not A, K, C or W then eliminate all the entries for that ID from the output.

The output for that table should look something like table below.

Hi @vchauhan011 , similar as above, but I used a dateTime conversion to get the max date.

Hello @KP_DML and @AndrewS,

 

first of all, thank you for posting both solutions so quickly. really appreciate it.  

Both solution are working perfectly fine in case if ID 2 has not been transitioned to or from A, K ,C or W states. But if ID 2 has been transitioned to and from A, K, C and W states and one of them is not the last state that ID 2 transitioned to, this would still pick ID 2 with the last date.

for any given ID If the very last state it transitioned to is not A, W, K or C then all the entries for that ID should be removed. 

 

Hope this make sense to you. 

Thank you again!
