Find Overlapping Timestamps

Hi,

 

I couldn't find the exact solution to my problem, so creating a new topic.

 

I have the following dataset:

 

Customer IDProduct IDStart DateEnd DateValue
11111120200131202012311
11122220200131202012312
11133320200131202012313
22211120200131202012314
22222220200131202012315
22222220200401202004156
22233320200131202012317
33311120200131202012318
33311120210131202112319

 

I need to create a workflow which adds a column at the end and flags the records that overlap with other ones. So in the example above records with values 5 and 6 should be flagged.

 

FYI...The real dataset contains around 100k records.

 

Thanks,

Pedram

Wow - This is great - thanks!

However, when I open the workflow I'm missing a part of it. Do you mind resending it please.

I tried to guess the formula and settings for F&R, but the results were incorrect...
