Group Users by Same Terminal, Window of Time

CMH
5 - Atom

Hi Alteryx Community, 

 

I'm trying to sort out a way to identify and group users who logged in to the same computer terminal on the same day within a given window of time. 

 

For example: Which User IDs logged in to the same terminal on the same day within one hour of each other? I've attached some sample data as a reference. Ideally I would like to be able to tweak the date/times ranges for different applications. 

 

Thanks very much!

It would be great you could share the sample result you are looking for...

Hi Ponraj, 

 

Thank you for your help. In the sample data (Example A) there two users active on the same terminal within an hour on the same date (6/4/2017). As a result, I'm hoping the final output would be something like this (see Example B below). 

 

Example A: Sample Data 

 

Log_On_DateLog_On_TimeTerminalUser_ID
3/13/201711:42:431235155555554
4/17/201722:40:111236166666665
4/19/201710:13:151237177777776
4/20/20179:50:031238188888887
6/3/201715:31:021239199999998
6/4/20173:17:031240222222220
6/4/20174:00:001240233333331
6/4/20174:14:031240211111109

5/14/20184:54:169003533333328
5/15/20189:51:059004544444439

 

Example B: Output 

Log_On_DateLog_On_TimeTerminalUser_ID
6/4/20174:00:001240233333331

Hi Ponraj, 

 

Thanks so much for your help on this. For some reason I am unable to download your workflow. I'm not having problems downloading other workflows from Alteryx community, but I keep getting a "network error" with your attached file. Would you mind re-sending? Thanks again!

Update: I switched browsers and it worked! Thanks so much for all your help on this
